The Road to Wigan Pier

Why read it

• You will see why people who hate poverty and tyranny can still be put off by the people who argue for socialism
• You will learn to spot the snobbery you picked up growing up and how it shapes your view of other people
• You will learn why the way a cause is put across can decide whether decent people join it

Who it is for

• Someone who struggles to win over people who share their aims
• A reader who judges others by class without noticing it
• A reader curious how poor industrial towns lived in the thirties
