Sinopse

Studies on the History of the Working Class in a revised edition with a new cover. *The Workers*, by renowned historian Eric J. Hobsbawm, portrays the history of the labor movement from the late 18th century to the First World War. Hobsbawm's approach to the social history of labor does not limit itself to workers' organizations and leaders, but rather takes the working classes as his starting point for his research. This pioneering approach to studies on the subject makes the book an important reference even today. The essays focus primarily on the economic and technical conditions that enabled, or hindered, the effectiveness of labor movements. They address, among other topics, the actions of trade unions, the "Luddite" revolt against machines, Fabian socialism, and the criticisms of Marx made by some English writers. Most of the texts were written for non-specialized daily publications, and therefore are written in language accessible to a wide readership. *The Workers* brings together important essays on a field in which Hobsbawm is recognized as one of the greatest scientific authorities: the history of the labor movement.
