The Working-Class Movement in America (Revolutionary Series)

"The Working-Class Movement in America (1888), is a classic study of American labor in the 1880s and was a bestseller among labor circles of the time. This text provides a snapshot of the U.S. labor movement and working class at a time when the United States was becoming the world's leading manufacturing nation. Blending firsthand observations and interviews with a wealth of appropriate statistics and reports from the Burean of Labor Statistics in various states, Marx and Aveling describe conditions in numerous workplaces and sectors of the labor force; there is even a Marxist analysis of the American cowboy!"--Jacket.
