Friedrich A. Sorge's Labor Movement in the United States: A History of the American Working Class From 1890 to 1896 (Contributions in Economics and Economic History)

'œThis translation of an American labor study by a 19th-century German Marxist, Friedrich A. Sorge (1828-1906), is valuable as a commentary by someone of Karl Marx's generation on the formation of a major labor movement in the US during the 1890s.... [Of] note are chapters on the judicial and economic constraints of the 1890s, especially as they surfaced in the 1896 presidential campaing. This volume resurrects Sorge from obscurity ... His views on American labor issues provide a valuable perspective. College, university, and large public library collections.'' ChoiceLaura Foner is the author of 'Friedrich A.
