How does the history of labor in the United States of America compare to that of other highly industrialized nations? For example, how did the system of slavery shape industrialization in the United States? Why were the socialist and communist movements much weaker in the U.S. than in Germany, France, and Italy, and why was there no major labor party in the U.S. as there was in England and Australia? Why have American workers been extraordinarily militant in job actions compared to their counterparts elsewhere? How have the religious convictions of the American people affected industrial relations? And why do Americans flinch at the word "class?" It is not a problem for the English, French, or Germans--what explains the difference? |
