{ "item_title" : "Sweating (1907)", "item_author" : [" Edward Cadbury", "George Shann "], "item_description" : "Sweating is a book written by Edward Cadbury and originally published in 1907. The book is a detailed exploration of the issue of sweating in the early 20th century, which referred to the exploitation of workers in industries such as clothing manufacturing, where they were paid very low wages and forced to work in poor conditions for long hours. Cadbury, who was a prominent member of the Quaker community, was a passionate advocate for social justice and workers' rights, and this book reflects his commitment to these causes.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of the problem of sweating. Cadbury begins by providing a historical overview of the issue, tracing its roots back to the Industrial Revolution and the rise of factory-based production. He then goes on to discuss the various factors that contribute to sweating, including the structure of the industry, the role of middlemen and contractors, and the lack of government regulation.Throughout the book, Cadbury provides numerous examples of real-life cases of sweating, drawing on his own experiences as a factory owner and his interactions with workers and other industry insiders. He also offers a number of proposals for how to address the problem, including the establishment of trade unions, the introduction of minimum wage laws, and the creation of government agencies to monitor and regulate working conditions.Overall, Sweating is an important historical document that sheds light on a critical social issue of the early 20th century. It is also a testament to the power of individual activism and advocacy in the face of systemic injustice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
