Towards Industrial Freedom

""Towards Industrial Freedom"" is a book written by Edward Carpenter, originally published in 1917. The book is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between industry and society, and the ways in which workers can achieve greater freedom and autonomy within the workplace. Carpenter argues that traditional models of industrial organization, which prioritize profit over the well-being of workers, are fundamentally flawed and must be reimagined in order to create a more equitable and just society. Drawing on his own experiences as a socialist activist and writer, Carpenter offers a vision of industrial democracy that emphasizes the importance of collective decision-making, worker participation in management, and the creation of a more equitable distribution of wealth. Throughout the book, Carpenter also explores the connections between industrial exploitation, gender inequality, and environmental degradation, arguing that these issues are all interconnected and must be addressed together if we are to achieve true freedom and justice. Overall, ""Towards Industrial Freedom"" is a thought-provoking and inspiring work that offers a powerful critique of the status quo and a compelling vision of a more just and equitable future.1917. This collection of essays, mainly written before World War I, roughly sketches the evils which arose from the industrial arrangements of the early part of the 19th century, and the reforms into which these evils forced us. In later chapters, the author endeavors to infer what further transformations we may expect in the future. These transformations will be largely of a psychological character, that is they will depend on a changed mental attitude toward life, on a changed estimate of values, even more than on a change of institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
