To celebrate the centenary of the most radical union in North
America - The Industrial Workers of the World - this collection
examines radical economics and the labor movement in the 20th
Century. The union advocates direct action to raise wages and
increase job control, and it envisions the eventual abolition of
capitalism and the wage system through the general strike.
The contributors to this volume speak both to economists and to
those in the labor movement, and point to fruitful ways in which
these radical heterodox traditions have engaged and continue to
engage each other and with the labor movement. In view of the
current crisis of organized labor and the beleaguered state of the
working class?phenomena which are global in scope?the book is both
timely and important. Representing a significant contribution to
the non-mainstream literature on labor economics, the book
reactivates a marginalized analytical tradition which can shed a
great deal of light on the origins and evolution of the
difficulties confronting workers throughout the world.
This volume will be of most interest to students and scholars of
heterodox economics, those involved with or researching The
Industrial Workers of the World, as well as anyone interested in
the more radical side of unions, anarchism and labor organizations
in an economic context.
