Arrived safely, but initially confused as it came in (recycled?) Amazon packaging containing indication it was a gift from an unknown sender. But the book was as described and delivered quickly so all good.

Compulsive reading for all who despair for a fair society
A great book, a real page turner. The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists shows clearly that as far as fairness in society goes, nothing much has changed in a hundred years or so. I t also shows that the working class are often their own worst enemies by stabbing each other in the back instead of sticking together to beat the common enemy; the greedy capitalists. Men are worked into an early grave,working long hours in dreadful conditions for slave wages and forced to compete with each other in accepting even lower wages to secure fleeting employment. Despite the awfulness described in the book there is lots of humour and lots of wisdom. It is a fairly weighty tome but it is not a difficult read. This is my favourite book EVER. I have read it many times and have bought several copies over the ... A great book, a real page turner.

I have read it many times and have bought several copies over the years to pass on to others. Once you've read it, keep it,as you will almost ceratinly go back to it but buy another two copies & pass them on to friends or colleagues. Happy reading

My favourite book
Quite simply the finest book I have ever read. It changed my outlook on life, and I will be eternally grateful to my old History teacher Martin Cross for recommending this, and Walter Greenwood's 'Love on the Dole'. I keep buying copies of Ragged because I am continually giving them to people.....

explains the inherent greed of capitalism
Explains the irony of work and the money game, Also the book highlights clearly how wealth is far more protected than human life. While these topics are generally dull reading, this book brings the consequences of the system into life with relatable interesting human players. On the downside it is exasperating that the majoity of the very poorly paid accept their lot,doff their caps to their "betters" and dont bring about change, both then and now.Explains the irony of work and the money game, Also the book highlights clearly how wealth is far more protected than human life.

Story of yesterday applies to todays political and economical shortcomings.
This story reveals the various human attitudes that prevail today and help to explain the mess we are in by not confronting lies and merely expect everyone else to realise what they are and ignore them. Hard pressed workmen unable to accept what they are told for fear of not fitting in and losing their employment which is their only means of survival.
