About this book

War of the Classes is a book by Jack London. The contents list names, among others, The Class Struggle, The Tramp and The Scab. In the preface, the writer says that when a youngster the writer was looked upon as a weird sort of creature, because of being a socialist.

A passage says the capitalist “must learn, first and for always” that socialism is based, not upon the equality, but upon the inequality, of men. Under the heading The Class Struggle, a passage says that, unfortunately or otherwise, people are prone to believe in the reality of the things they think ought to be so. A passage says that in San Francisco the barbers, laundry-workers, and milk-wagon drivers received such an advance in wages, and that their employers promptly added the amount of this advance to the selling price of their wares.
