Focusing on the complex interplay of poverty and industrialization, Hobson's work delves into the conditions faced by the poor in the late 19th century. He examines the impact of machinery, the influx of population into urban areas, and the exploitation of low-skilled labor, including the specific challenges faced by women workers. This volume also includes discussions on the "sweating system" and potential remedies for these societal issues. It serves as a critical resource for understanding European industrial development and Hobson's influential theories.
