Popular conceptions hold that capitalism is driven almost entirely
by the pursuit of profit and self-interest. Though this may largely
be true, it conflicts with our actual experience of the realities
of capitalism - and is belied by the many associations that take an
interest not just in their industry but also the people who
maintain it. In "Solidarity in Strategy", Lyn Spillman works from
extensive documentary archives and a comprehensive data set of more
than four thousand trade associations from obscure corners of
commercial life. In studying these diverse groups, from the Cotton
Textile Institute to the Cracker and Biscuit Association, Spillman
reveals an unexpected truth about capitalist society: protecting
and promoting the profits of its member businesses are only two of
the many functions these associations serve. More collegial than
cutthroat, these associations band businesses together to develop
strategies to promote their common welfare, and in doing so, they
develop group identities and a sense of solidarity. Timely and
far-reaching, "Solidarity in Strategy" leads us to question some of
our most basic assumptions about economic life and forces us to
consider how these communities of workers orient themselves in the
intertwined worlds of business and society.
