<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In the nineteenth century, the social ravages of industrialization were commented upon by numerous contemporaries. The sociologist Emile Durkheim wrote a pioneering study &quot;On the social division of labour,&quot; analysing the transition from pre-industrial to industrial society. <br /> <br /> Durkheim cites several early nineteenth-century observers who commented on the degraded condition of industrial workers, such as Jean-Baptiste Say who observed that &quot;the worker who during his whole career uses only a file and hammer ... degrades the dignity of his nature,&quot; and de Toqueville who wrote: &quot;As the principle of the division of labour is applied more and more completely, production progresses, but the producer regresses.&quot; <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *Emile Durkheim, &quot;The Division of Labor in Society&quot; (1893)<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durkheim<br /> <br /> [[Category:Historical Roots]]</div>
