Book Description
This book tracks changes in the character of industrial organization and labor relations at a British metal trades firm. It examines the capacity of both owners and workers to defend their interests in the production process, and looks at the political, ideological, and rhetorical means by which those interests were articulated, regulated, and promoted. By examining the materiality of production with its ideological, cultural, and political moments, this book offers new insight on the nature of work and on social and class relations. c.
