This book about class struggle in the early 19th century in Britain is well worth listening to.

Thanks I watched a video about this recently and found it interesting.

I caught this yesterday by accident and just listened to today's right now (the last episode). It's good stuff, makes it very clear the real history of the original Luddites - not "the pejorative figment of the entrepreneurial imagination" - and the correlations between situations and arguments then and now. Definitely worth a listen.
