Recenzii

This is a collection which every labour historian should read. These eighteen essays offer a succinct summary of recent scholarship and challenge us to think deeply about contemporary discussions of work and the labour markets. They also provoke us to consider the utility and value of historical study in such debates ... This important collection identifies a number of points at which historians can usefully intervene in current discussions on employment relations.
