The Spirit of Labor

"We need to grasp somewhat this picture of a world-wide condition of misery, based on both the capitalistic and the labour movements, to see this entire picture realistically and fairly. In some form or another the interplay between capital and labour, between employer and employee and between the monied interests and the exploited masses has been present. With the steam age, the scientific age, the age of electricity and the age of planetary intercommunication, this evil grew and spread. Capital became more and more potent; Labour became increasingly restless and demanding." PROBLEMS OF HUMANITY by Alice Bailey.
