Scope and content

Article containing a positive review of Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical 'Rerum novarum (Rights and Duties of Capital and Labor)', which discussed the relationships and mutual duties between labour and capital, as well as government and its citizens. The encyclical supported the implementation of a living wage for labourers and the rights of labour to form unions, rejected both socialism and unrestricted capitalism, and affirmed the right to private property. The review's author is not identified ('By Who?' has been written on the front page) but the reviewer mentions that 'it has been shown in Great Britain that social reforms... when secured by class strength for a class interest, may imperil the economic life of the nation' and that the world has the encyclical to thank for the creation of the family allowance.
