The Radical Programme (1885)

The Radical Programme (1885) is a political treatise written by Joseph Chamberlain, a prominent British politician and statesman of the late 19th century. In this book, Chamberlain outlines his vision for a radical program of social and economic reform aimed at addressing the pressing issues of poverty, inequality, and social injustice that plagued Victorian England.Chamberlain's program includes a range of proposals, such as the establishment of a national system of education, the creation of a system of old-age pensions, the expansion of municipal government, the establishment of a system of land reform, and the introduction of a progressive income tax.Throughout the book, Chamberlain argues that these reforms are necessary to create a more just and equitable society, and to ensure that all citizens have the opportunity to live fulfilling and productive lives. He also emphasizes the importance of collective action and social solidarity in achieving these goals.The Radical Programme was a highly influential work in its time, and helped to shape the political debate in Britain for many years to come. Today, it remains an important historical document that offers valuable insights into the social and political issues of the late 19th century, and the efforts of reformers like Chamberlain to address them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
