The Remedy for Unemployment
1909
The Remedy for Unemployment, published in 1909 by Alfred Russel Wallace, is a socio-economic pamphlet addressing chronic unemployment and starvation in Great Britain. Wallace advocates for socialist principles, arguing that production should prioritize use over profit and that workers should receive wages reflecting the full value of their labor. He critiques existing governmental approaches to unemployment and proposes a national plan for cooperative communities to foster economic stability and self-sufficiency among the unemployed, emphasizing the importance of organized management for successful implementation.
