Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the insights of industrial relations by examining how they evolved in England and the United States. It begins with a discussion of the nature of today's labor problems and the varying ideas surrounding them. The author suggests we must first understand the evolutionary nature of our industrial and social life, including institutions like private property, freedom of contract, and wage systems. He then traces the development of labor problems and trade unionism in both nations, showing how the invention of new machinery, changes in transportation, and other technological and economic advances have forced the industrial landscape to adapt. From child and women labor to immigration and unemployment, this book delves into the very real problems faced by working people, and how society and industry have attempted to provide solutions. It traces the history of labor laws and social insurance, and discusses the potential value of profit sharing and other incentives. By the end, the author has provided a broad, nuanced overview of the complex relationships between employers and employees that influence our world today.
