Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a stark and unflinching look at the lives of the working class in Manchester during the early 19th century. The author, a physician, examines the social, economic, and physical conditions that impacted the lives of the poor, many of whom were recent Irish immigrants. The book delves into the grim realities of poverty, disease, and crime, exposing the consequences of industrialization and rapid urbanization on a vulnerable population. Through detailed statistical observations and personal accounts, the author meticulously explores the impact of long working hours, inadequate housing, and poor nutrition on the health and well-being of the working class. He also explores the role of social institutions, such as the poor laws, in shaping the lives of the poor and contributing to their degradation. The bookââ â¢s insights offer a sobering reminder of the challenges faced by the working class in a rapidly changing world, and its observations on the relationship between poverty and social ills are still relevant today.
