| Summary | "Signs of Change" by William Morris is a collection of seven lectures delivered during the late 19th century. The text addresses various social, political, and economic issues of the time, reflecting Morris's views on the need for profound societal transformation toward a more equitable system, advocating for socialism and critiquing the capitalist framework that governs society. The opening of the work introduces the central theme of revolution versus reform, as Morris argues that true societal progress requires a fundamental change rather than mere superficial adjustments. He delves into the dynamics of class relations, the nature of work, and the existing social order, exploring how fear and hope are pivotal emotions driving people toward or away from change. Through his essayistic style, he engages with notions of oppression, the wastefulness of capitalism, and the necessity for collective action and consciousness among the working class to achieve a harmonious and just society.
