About this audiobook
"The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844" is a socio-economic and political work by Friedrich Engels, a German philosopher and collaborator of Karl Marx. The book provides a critical analysis of the living and working conditions of the working class in England during the Industrial Revolution. Engels conducted extensive research and firsthand observations, drawing attention to the deplorable conditions faced by the working class in urban industrial centers. He explores issues such as long working hours, child labor, unsanitary living conditions, lack of workers' rights, and the exploitation of labor by the emerging industrial capitalist class. The book serves as a scathing critique of the social and economic inequalities of the time, highlighting the stark contrast between the living conditions of the working class and the affluent bourgeoisie.
Friedrich Engels
Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) was, like Karl Marx, a German philosopher, historian, political theorist, journalist and revolutionary socialist. Unlike Marx, Engels was born to a wealthy family, but he used his family's money to spread his philosophy of empowering workers, exposing what he saw as the bourgeoisie's sinister motives and encouraging the working class to rise up and demand their rights. He wrote several works in collaboration with Marx - most famously "The Communist Manifesto" - and supported Marx financially after he was forced to relocate to London. Following Marx's death, Engels compiled the second and third volumes of Das Kapital, ensuring that this seminal document would live on. He continued writing for the rest of his life and died in London in 1894.
