Book Reviews : Management and Labor

Harry Braverman’s analysis of the working class is the most important history of monopoly capital in recent times. The entire work is a Marxist &dquo;definition&dquo; of capitalist class relationships in the United States of North America during the twentieth century. Braverman is in an unusually good position to perform this analysis of the working class. He combines insights gained from 14 years working as coppersmith, pipefitter, sheetmetal worker, railroad repairman, steel fabricator and activist in the socialist movement with careful analysis of existing academic studies of the working class. His experience as a book publisher and writer gives him two further advantages: first, he has been on the management side of the class conflict and therefore has some understanding of class conflict from that perspective; and second, he ably weaves the threads of a complex understanding of the working class into a coherent whole.
