Unions, Strikes, Shaw: 'The Capitalism of the Proletariat' is the
first book to treat Bernard Shaw-socialist, dramatist, public
speaker and union member-in relation to unions and strikes. For
over half a century he urged workers to join unions, which he
called, paradoxically, "the Capitalism of the Proletariat," because
as capitalists try to get as much labor as possible from workers
while paying them as little as possible, unions try to gain as high
wages as possible from employers while working as little as
possible. He opposed general strikes as destined to fail, since
owners can hold out longer than workers, whose unions have less
money to support them during strikes. This book offers background
on major strikes in and before Shaw's time -including the Colorado
Coalfield War and the Dublin Lockout, both in 1913-before analyzing
the causes, day-by-day events and consequences of Britain's 1926
General Strike. It begins and ends with examinations of their and
Shaw's relevance to actions on unions and strikes in our own time.
