- Summary:
- In the United States, less than one worker in five is currently in a labor union, while in Sweden, virtually the entire workforce is unionized. What explains the enormous variation in unionization, and Why has the last decade been so hostile to organized labor? Bruce Western tackles these questions in an analysis of labor union organization in eighteen capitalist democracies from 1950 to 1990. Between Class and Market traces the story of the postwar labor movements supported by a blend of historical investigation and sophisticated statistical analysis in an innovative framework for comparative research.
