Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A Theory of the Labor Movement' is a foundational text in the study of industrial relations and labor history. In this influential work, Selig Perlman presents a comprehensive analysis of trade unionism, challenging the prevailing intellectual theories of his era. Perlman argues that successful labor movements are primarily driven by the practical 'job-consciousness' of workers rather than by abstract revolutionary ideologies or political agendas.The book provides a detailed comparative study of labor developments in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Russia. By examining these diverse national contexts, Perlman explores why some movements focus on collective bargaining and economic security while others are drawn toward radical social transformation. His thesis underscores the role of unions as organic, defensive institutions aimed at securing job opportunities and establishing rights within the industrial system.As a cornerstone of labor economics and sociology, 'A Theory of the Labor Movement' offers profound insights into the psychology of the working class and the institutional dynamics of organized labor. It remains an essential resource for understanding the historical evolution of the workforce and the enduring principles that shape industrial society.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
