Capital, Labor, and State is a systematic and thorough examination
of American labor policy from the Civil War to the New Deal. David
Brian Robertson skillfully demonstrates that although most
industrializing nations began to limit employer freedom and
regulate labor conditions in the 1900s, the United States continued
to allow total employer discretion in decisions concerning hiring,
firing, and workplace conditions. Robertson argues that the
American constitution made it much more difficult for the American
Federation of Labor, government, and business to cooperate for
mutual gain as extensively as their counterparts abroad, so that
even at the height of New Deal, American labor market policy
remained a patchwork of limited protections, uneven laws, and poor
enforcement, lacking basic national standards even for child labor.
