Reviews

Howell writes directly and clearly. He integrates into his study the concepts of many authors and his research is current... Howell has created a work of merit and it deserves the attention and respect of students of the British industrial relations. -- James W. Stitt, EH.net Howell's work ... well repays a careful reading. In less than 200 pages of text, he reinterprets British history, and points toward a new approach to understanding some of the central questions of our time. I recommend Trade Unions and the State without reservation. -- Gerald Friedman, Industrial and Labor Relations Review
