""Work, Capitalism, and Democracy is a powerful, debate-redefining collection woven from the insights of a stellar group of scholars. By showing how developments that reshaped the workplace, markets, and the state impacted each other, Shermer and her contributors direct our attention beyond the successive rise and fall of the New Deal and neoliberal orders, illuminating continuities and long-range dynamics that are even now rapidly remaking our world. This is essential reading for anyone who seeks to comprehend the roots of democracy's deepening crisis.""-- ""Joseph A. McCartin, Georgetown University"" ""Work, Capitalism, and Democracy is an impressive collection of essays about labor and political economy, centered on the period from the New Deal through the end of the twentieth century. The level of scholarship is consistently high, with many of the chapters making significant new contributions to our understanding of this period.""-- ""Joshua B. Freeman, City University of New York""
