    Yes, Marx has huge portions of Capital Vol I dedicated to “the working day” and the history, up to his time, of labor’s working day, child labor/conditions for child labor, destruction of the family due to the length and intensity of the working day, etc.

    Obligatory “read Marx” to anyone who hasn’t for some reason.

      The Condition of the Working Class in England by Friedrich Engels is arguably better when it comes to simply showing what conditions were like. Easy read too, cannot recommend it enough.
