Book Synopsis Philadelphia Workers in a Changing Economy by : Gladys L. Palmer
Download or read book Philadelphia Workers in a Changing Economy written by Gladys L. Palmer and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of what has happened to the ways in which Philadelphians make a living. It describes the impact of the two world wars, the depression, and postwar prosperity on the structure and functioning of the labor market. Philadelphia Workers in a Changing Economy places the findings of a unique research program investigating the problems and conditions of a metropolitan labor market in their historical setting. While the book has special interest for individuals and organizations concerned with the economic welfare of Philadelphia and its environs, its significance is more than local. It compares trends in the nation and in other metropolitan centers with those in Philadelphia. In addition the economic development problems of cities in general and the flexibilities and inflexibilities of an urban labor force in adjusting to a changing economy receive considerable attention. The statistical data, methodology, and analysis will be of value to regional economists, labor market analysts, and students of manpower problems in major industrial and occupational groups.

Book Synopsis AFSCME's Philadelphia Story by : Francis Ryan
Download or read book AFSCME's Philadelphia Story written by Francis Ryan and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AFSCME's Philadelphia Story provides the most comprehensive account of the early years of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which is one of the nation’s largest and most politically powerful unions in the AFL-CIO. Author Francis Ryan details the emergence of the Quaker City's interracial union, charting its beginnings in the political patronage system of one of the nation's most notorious political machines to the first decade of the twenty-first century. Ryan provides new insight into the working class origins of African American political power in the late twentieth century as well as a thorough overview of the role the municipal state played in the urban economy of one of the nation's largest cities. Ryan describes the work processes and how they changed, and uses workers' testimonies to ground the detailed accounts of issues and negotiations. Beginning in the 1920s and ending in the 2000s, Ryan's study offers a long-term analysis of the growth of a single union in a major American city.

Book Synopsis The Republic of Labor by : Ronald Schultz
Download or read book The Republic of Labor written by Ronald Schultz and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study of working-class formation in Philadelphia takes issue with a number of widely held views about the origins and nature of the early American working class. Although other historians locate the birth of the American working class in the middle decades of the nineteenth century, Schultz argues that the origins of Philadelphia's working class lay in the dramatic social changes that transformed artisan life in eighteenth-century Philadelphia. In contrast to recent accounts of working-class formation that trace its ideological roots to the republicanism of the Revolutionary and Jacksonian eras, Schultz argues that Philadelphia's working class drew its ideological force from an indigenous small-producer tradition inherited from the artisans of early modern England. Moreover, Schultz takes issue with the prevailing view that religion and party politics diminished working-class consciousness. Rather, he details the ways in which rational religion and popular politics were active forces in the formation of Philadelphia's early working class. Engagingly written and drawing upon a wide range of sources, this book reconstructs the moral and political worlds of Philadelphia artisans as they created America's first working class from the crucible of economic, political, and social change in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Book Synopsis Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers by : Andrew Dawson
Download or read book Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers written by Andrew Dawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lives of the Philadelphia Engineers examines the emergence of a new class of industrial entrepreneur and the world it confronted and shaped. Historians are reluctant to examine nineteenth-century American business leaders as a social group and this study helps remedy the defect. This book interweaves a history of the social and economic development of the largest centre of machine building in nineteenth-century America with the dramatic political narrative of sectional conflict, Civil War and Reconstruction. Crossing and re-crossing the boundary between industrial and political history, it throws new light on the process of industrialisation, the Civil War conflict, and the contested governance of nineteenth-century cities. While this study is firmly rooted in the experience of Philadelphia's machine builders, its historiographic significance extends to many of the important themes of mid-century American history. By rejecting the conventional viewpoint that timid manufacturers were conservative supporters of the plantation South and insisting that workshop owners rejected slavery, this study reinvigorates one of the Civil War's enduring interpretative battles. Of interest to scholars of business, economic, social, labour, education, urban and Civil War history, it will no doubt stimulate further debate and add a new angle to our understanding of nineteenth-century America.
