Class Struggles in America
"Class Struggles in America." By A. M. Simons, editor of the International Socialistic Review, third edition, revised and enlarged, with notes and references. Chas. H. Kerr & Co., Chicago. The author frankly tells us that he writes from the point of view of the working classes, because he believes that the Socialistic philosophy of history offers the true key to the progress of events. He discusses class struggles in America, In the Colonies, Causes of the Revolution, Condition of the Working Classes under "Independence," Conquest of Power by Planter and Pioneer, The Industrial Revolution, Wage versus Chattel Slavery, Rise of the Capitalist Class, The Civil War, Effects of the War on Industries and Men, The Rise of Plutocracy to Power, Organization of Labor Classes, and so on. It probably is one of the best little works from the Socialist standpoint.
