I keep running into people who are very biased in favor of capital and I want just someone who views the world in terms of the worker
I never got around to reading them, but Hobsbawm wrote a series of books that might cover the topic. Maybe The Age of Revolution: Europe 1789–1848, or The Age of Capital: 1848–1875, or The Age of Empire: 1875–1914 have what you're looking for
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but The Invention of Capitalism by Michael Perelman was a capital-critical book about that general era.
Not pro worker, but gregory clark has a series of good articles disproving the liberal theories of what caused the industrial revolution. Only to come up with a more deranged theory.
Marx?
when i'm looking for a book i tend to check askhistorians book list, they've got pretty high standards so the conservative/liberal authors tend to be the honest ones, not fantasists
