This book makes the argument, supported by rich and extensive
historical research into original sources, that it is possible to
revolutionize work so that it can be, in the author's words,
"satisfying, creative, and stimulating at the same time that it is
materially productive: we can have material abundance along with
interesting work." Rather than argue the issue in the abstract,
Clawson investigates the development of industrial management in
the late nineteenth-century United States, when inside contracting
and the craft system dominated production. He examines the way in
which the imposition of the factory system increased the
capitalists' control over the labor process, and describes the
impact of modern technology on the class struggle, concluding that
the struggle is very much alive and remains the only means by which
to bring about a future socialist organization of work.
