# The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844

_with a Preface written in 1892_

By Friedrich Engels.

"The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844" by Friedrich Engels is a study written in 1845. Based on Engels' observations during his time in Manchester and Salford, the book examines the lives of industrial workers in Victorian England. Engels argues that industrialization worsened workers' conditions, documenting higher mortality rates, lower wages, and unhealthy living environments in factory towns. This influential work helped convince Karl Marx that the working class could be agents of revolutionary change. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
