John R. Commons is one of the few reformers of the past century
whose major works are still actively read, whose ideas are still
debated, and whose principles are still applied to the analysis of
contemporary problems. His life spanned the years of America's
"Great Transformation," from a nation of shopkeepers, farmers, and
small towns to one of giant corporations, landless laborers, and
crowded cities. He became involved in almost every aspect of
America's response to the damaging side effects of that
transformation. A Worker's Economist begins with John Commons'
childhood and education and continues through his life as a
scholar, teacher, administrator, and reformer. Commons' list of
accomplishments are great in number and overall effect. He worked
on the staff of the first government commission to investigate the
economic and social consequences of corporate mergers. He served as
a public representative on the commission that investigated
industrial violence and workplace relations. He was a participant
observer in America's largest and most historic mineworkers'
strike. He wrote and administered the nation's first constitutional
worker compensation law. He developed principles of social reform
and public administration that his students carried into the design
and administration of the Social Security system as well as Lyndon
B. Johnson's War on Poverty. John Dennis Chasse reviews Commons'
major works, describes the people with whom he worked, and follows
the fortunes of the unions that were intrinsic to his vision of
"collective democracy." As a final testament to Commons'
importance, Chasse considers his legacy as it endures in the work
of his students and beyond.
