Chartism was a general rubric for a range of working-class protest movements in England , named for the People's Charter. Chartism was a very widespread popular reform movement which involved several massive petitions to Parliament (ranging from 1,280,000 to 3,000,000 signatures), all of which were rejected, to public riots. Particularly in the context of European revolution , it seemed a major threat to the government and structure of authority in England. However, the movement peaked in and dwindled in the relative prosperity of the following years.

Carlyle's pamphlet was published shortly after Chartism began making itself felt as a major political movement in Britain. It expresses his dismay over the alienation of the working classes, the apparent break-down of social order and risk of revolution, and the deficiencies of the upper classes. "Laissez-faire" contains a critique of classical economic theory and argues that economic ties, or "Cash Payment", are an inadequate foundation for society.
