The Factory Controversy: A Warning Against Meddling Legislation is a book written by Harriet Martineau in 1855. The book is a critique of the Factory Acts, which were a series of laws passed in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century to regulate the working conditions in factories. Martineau argues that these laws are misguided and that they do more harm than good. She believes that the government should not interfere in the affairs of private businesses, and that the market should be left to regulate itself. Martineau also argues that the Factory Acts are unfair to women and children, who are often forced to work in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. The book is a warning against what Martineau sees as the dangers of government intervention in the economy, and it remains a classic text in the history of political and economic thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
