Description
Excerpt from Looking Backward, 2000-1887, or Life in the Year 2000, A. D
The reader who Observes the dates alluded to will Of course recognize in these disturbances of industry the first and incoherent phase Of the great movement which ended in the establish ment Of the modern industrial system with all its social consequences. This is all so plain in the retrospect that a child can understand it,~but not being prophets we of that day had no clear idea of what was happening to us. What we did see was that industrially the country was in a very queer way. The relation between the working man and the employer, between labour and capital, appeared in some unaccountable manner to have become dislocated.
The working classes had quite suddenly and very generally become infected with a profound discontent with their condition, and an idea that it could be greatly bettered if they only knew how to go about it.
