Labour Defended Against the Claims of Capital

Hodgskin's sympathy for the working classes through his involvement in the struggle for repeal of the Combination Acts led to the publication, in defense of trade union activity, of this attack on profit as a violation of the natural laws of value and distribution.

<p>This seventh volume of the Collected Works of Thomas Hodgskin presents what amounts to Hodgskin's implicit Legal textbook - The Nature and Artificial Right of Property Contrasted (1832). The material comprises the substance of a series of letters, here undated, he claims to have written in 1829.We find him again "speaking truth to power" in his by then established style. The ferociousness of many of his comments seems to reflect less concern with the potential dangers he was exposing himself to, which can be seen to illustrate a matured confidence.</p>

Independently published

<p>Thomas Hodgskin (1787-1869) Disgusted by the horrors of naval discipline, he first made a name by his attack on the navy, and established what was essentially an anarchist criticism of society. Turning to writing, he travelled extensively in Germany for the purpose of his book on that country. His economic writings were based on the idea that labour is the sole source of wealth, and that the workers were deprived of their true share of the wealth they produced. His Popular Political Economy was derived from his controversial lectures to the London Mechanics Institute and constituted the first textbook of socialist economics. In later life he was a frequent contributor to the Economist.</p>
