All conceivable evils are heaped<br />

upon the poor…They are given damp<br />

dwellings, cellar dens that are not<br />

waterpro<strong>of</strong> from below or garrets that<br />

leak from above… They are supplied<br />

bad, tattered, or rotten clothing,<br />

adulterated and indigestible food.<br />

They are exposed to the most<br />

exciting changes <strong>of</strong> mental condition,<br />

the most violent vibrations between<br />

hope and fear... They are deprived <strong>of</strong><br />

all enjoyments except sexual<br />

indulgence and drunkenness and are<br />

worked every day to the point <strong>of</strong><br />

complete exhaustion <strong>of</strong> their mental<br />

and physical energies…<br />

Frederich Engels, 1820-1895. The Condition <strong>of</strong> the Working Class in England
