Capital And Labor (1907)

Capital and Labor is a book written by William Shuler Harris and published in 1907. It is a historical analysis of the relationship between capital and labor in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book examines the economic, social, and political factors that influenced the relationship between these two groups, including the rise of industrial capitalism, the growth of labor unions, and the emergence of new technologies.Harris argues that the relationship between capital and labor was characterized by conflict and tension, with capitalists seeking to maximize profits and workers struggling to secure better wages and working conditions. He also explores the role of government in regulating this relationship, particularly in the areas of labor law and social welfare policies.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the capital-labor relationship. These include chapters on the history of labor movements, the role of technology in shaping the workplace, the impact of immigration on labor markets, and the challenges faced by workers in organizing and bargaining collectively.Overall, Capital and Labor provides a comprehensive overview of the complex and often contentious relationship between capital and labor in the United States during a period of rapid industrialization and social change. It remains an important historical resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history of labor relations and social movements in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
