This essay was, even in its time, seen as so blistering that the Southern Literary Messenger described its contents as \"purely monstrous, and the most elaborate argument would not place their monstrosity more clearly before the reader, than the simple enunciation of them.\" We present it here with another of Carlyle's essays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarlyle influenced not only fascism but socialism, and in \u003cem\u003eThe Modern Worker\u003c\/em\u003e he grants the worker his essential nobility and savagely critiques laissez-faire economics. He folds his anti-capitalism into the critique of modernity given in \u003cem\u003eThe Present Time\u003c\/em\u003e-whatever system man places himself under, it must conform to \"a set of conditions already voted for, and fixed with adamantine rigour by the ancient Elemental Powers.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Carlyle is known for coinages and obscure references, this volume offers a comprehensive glossary of terms.
