| Abstract | Fourth and the last, Friedrich Engels published his The Condition of the Working Class in England: From Personal Observation and Authentic Sources in 1845. Basing himself on Manchester’s textile industry, Engels suggested how manufacture ‘centralises property in the hands of the few’, and therefore how the working population becomes centralized, as ‘[a] manufacturing establishment requires many workers employed together in a single building, living near each other and forming a village of themselves in the case of a good-sized factory.’ |
