SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The role of the state is not be overlooked in its support of elite control over production, as well as aiding through legal means the growth of a capitalist economy in opposition to labor's conception of greater economic democracy. This book explains how and why labor continues to confront repression in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries."
