520 _a"The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists" by Robert Tressell is a semi-autobiographical novel published in 1914. Set in a fictional English town, it follows house painters struggling to survive on poverty wages while their labor generates profit for employers. The title ironically refers to workers who accept their own exploitation. Through debates and the famous "Great Money Trick" demonstration, socialist painter Frank Owen tries to awaken his fellow workers to capitalism's inequities. A scathing critique of Edwardian society, it became a classic of working-class literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
