Labor in the Capitalist World-Economy

By Charles Bergquist

Since the second world war, the World System approach to modern world history has failed to come to terms with the meaning of the struggles of organized working people in the capitalist world economy. The essays in this volume take important steps toward the goal of placing labour at the centre of world system analysis in order to emphasize the great importance of labour movements. The contributors examine the evolving relationship between labour, capital, and the state and look at the implications of these changes in the world economy for class organized labour.
