Evolutionary Socialism was Bernstein's most significant work, and it set the stage for the Democratic Socialism of today. In Evolutionary Socialism, Bernstein was principally concerned with refuting Karl Marx's predictions about the imminent and inevitable demise of capitalism. Bernstein warned that a violent proletarian revolution, as in France in 1848, produced only reactionary successes, which undermined workers' interests. Therefore, he rejected revolution and instead insisted the best strategy to be patiently building up a durable social movement working for continuous nonviolent incremental change.

In 1972, federal NDP leader David Lewis launched an attack on Canada's corporate welfare system, citing the millions of dollars in government subsidies to the wealthy Aluminum Company of Canada, Canadian Westinghouse, and the Michelin Tire Company. Later Lewis added Shell Canada, Denison Mines, Cominco, Dofasco, Falconbridge, Bell Canada, Canadian General Electric and dozens of others to his list of corporate giants permitted by government to escape paying their fair share of income taxes. In Louder Voices: The Corporate Welfare Bums Lewis provided the detailed facts and analysis supporting his charge that "government and big business are holding hands--in your pocket."

Money, jobs, careers, training-all are topics often overheard in the conversation of middle-class Americans. One of the nation's leading critics of education, the world of work, and the labor movement, Stanley Aronowitz shows how new technologies, labor, and education all are deeply intertwined in our culture and everyday lives. This book reflects Aronowitz's thinking at a time when globalization has brought these connections to broad public attention. Aronowitz argues for the decline of "the job" as the backbone, along with family, of American society. Despite high employment, low wages and job insecurity leave many families at or below the poverty line. The career instability previously experienced mostly by blue-collar workers has spread to middle managers and high-level executives caught in the rapid movement of capital and technologies. In light of these facts, Aronowitz argues for a new social contract between employers and workers.

Heroic Defeats is a comparative investigation of how unions and firms interact when economic circumstances require substantial job loss. Using simple game theory to generate testable propositions about when these situations will result in industrial conflict, Professor Golden illustrates the theory in a range of situations between 1950 and 1985 in Japan, Italy, and Britain. Additionally, the author shows how the theory explains why strikes over job loss almost never occur in postwar unionized firms in the United States.

"Explaining why social movements and labor activists run into obstacles, and how these can be overcome, this book draws valuable sociological and strategic lessons from the drivers' ten-week wildcat strike that helped that lay the basis for organizing Teamsters for a Democratic Union"-- Provided by publisher.

""Whither England?"" is a political analysis by Leon Trotsky, a prominent Marxist revolutionary and theorist, originally published in 1925. The book examines the social and economic conditions of England during the early 20th century, and the potential for a socialist revolution in the country. Trotsky argues that the capitalist system is in crisis, and that the working class is increasingly discontented and ready to overthrow the ruling class. He also critiques the Labour Party and other reformist movements, arguing that they are not radical enough to bring about true social change. The book is an important contribution to Marxist theory and provides insight into the political climate of England during the interwar period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
