This is an extremely important book on several basic public policy issues. It has added immeasurably to my understanding of trends in the economy, in politics and in organized labor, and I am confident that any serious reader will reach the same conclusion. Troy provides an intellectual framework for thinking about organized labor that dwarfs any publication on the American scene. -- Myron Lieberman, Social Philosophy and Policy Center, Bowling Green State University This is an extremely important book on several basic public policy issues.
