The “philanthropists” of the title are the workers who, in his view acquiesce in their own exploitation in the interests of their bosses.The novel is set in the fictional town of Mugsborough a small place near Hastings in Sussex.Postage: (Free Insurance Is Included)UK Postage: £3.50 Sent Royal Mail 24 Tracked 1-2 Working Days Air-Mail Europe £9.95Air-Mail Rest of World £9.95Air-Mail Zone 3 USA £12.95 Payments:Paypal We are happy to send you a paypal invoice on completion of the sale
