Laboring for Freedom examines the concept of freedom in the context
of American labor history. Nine chronological essays develop themes
which show that "liberty of contract" and "inalienable rights" form
two contradictory traditions concerning freedom: one tradition
insists that liberty involves the expression of individual will
with regard to one's property (i.e. one's labor); the second
tradition holds that there are fundamental rights of man that must
neither be taken away by the state nor surrendered by the
individual. The tensions between these two concepts are traced in
the book. Topics covered include republican independence, corporate
paternalism, the compromises of collective bargaining, and human
rights in a global economy. The book argues that ultimately freedom
is best analyzed as a changing set of constraints, rather than an
attainable ideal.
