Work and Politics develops a historical and comparative sociology
of workplace relations in industrial capitalist societies.
Professor Sabel argues that the system of mass production using
specialized machines and mostly unskilled workers was the result of
the distribution of power and wealth in eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century Great Britain and the United States, not of an
inexorable logic of technological advance. Once in place, this
system created the need for workers with systematically different
ideas about the acquisition of skill and the desirability of
long-term employment. Professor Sabel shows how capitalists have
played on naturally existing division in the workforce in order to
match workers with diverse ambitions to jobs in different parts of
the labor market. But he also demonstrates the limits, different
from work group to work group, of these forms of collaboration.
