This lecture delves into the working conditions and moral principles of factory workers, highlighting their tendency towards alcoholism and the struggle between the employer's time management and the worker's time. It explores the imposition of time discipline in factories, including repressive measures and the role of paternalism. The emergence of wage labor and the new division of labor within families during the industrial revolution are also discussed.
