Hoes van H. G. Wells: This Misery of Boots (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

In this short tract, published by the Fabian Society in 1907, Wells relates a conversation with a friend on the poor quality of boots worn by the working class. He uses the example as a springboard to condemn private property and imperialism, advocate socialism, and forecast a revolutionary break with history.
