Illustrations of political economy, Volume 3 (of 9) by Harriet Martineau
"Illustrations of Political Economy, Volume 3" by Harriet Martineau is a collection of socio-political texts written in the early 19th century. This volume features three separate works exploring issues related to labor relations and economic challenges in industrial society, highlighting themes such as strikes and the plight of workers. Martineau's insightful critiques focus on the struggles of the working class, particularly in the context of a Manchester strike, encapsulating the tensions between
workers and employers. The opening portion of this volume introduces readers to a group of factory workers in Manchester, revealing their struggles as they grapple with reduced wages and labor conditions. The focus is on Allen, one of the workers, who tries to provide for his family amidst economic hardship and tension within the community. As the narrative unfolds, it depicts the interactions between workers considering a strike for better wages and the harsh realities they face, including family responsibilities and the conflicting desires of their comrades. The chapter illustrates the complex dynamics of labor organization and the socio-economic environment of the time, setting the stage for a broader discussion on political economy and workers' rights.
