In The Labor Question in America: Economic Democracy in the Gilded
Age, Rosanne Currarino traces the struggle to define the nature of
democratic life in an era of industrial strife. As Americans
confronted the glaring disparity between democracy's promises of
independence and prosperity and the grim realities of economic want
and wage labor, they asked, "What should constitute full
participation in American society? What standard of living should
citizens expect and demand?" Currarino traces the diverse efforts
to answer to these questions, from the fledgling trade union
movement to contests over immigration, from economic theory to
popular literature, from legal debates to social reform. The
contradictory answers that emerged--one stressing economic
participation in a consumer society, the other emphasizing property
ownership and self-reliance--remain pressing today as contemporary
scholars, journalists, and social critics grapple with the meaning
of democracy in post-industrial America.
