Every-body's Business is No-body's Business, or, Private Abuses, Publick Grievances

A sharp social commentary from Daniel Defoe, "Every-body's Business is No-body's Business, or, Private Abuses, Publick Grievances" offers a fascinating glimpse into the societal dynamics of 18th-century England.

It serves as a compelling historical document for those interested in labor history, social stratification, and the evolution of economic thought.
