Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1896, this seminal work considers the Question of the Unemployed at the height of imperialist capitalism.

In a comprehensive assessment of the practicalities of capitalism, The Problem of the Unemployed considers the root causes and meaning of unemployment and possible solutions to the issue.
