Rebels and Revolutionaries Voices of American Labor

Although the economy of the United States was founded on the idea of free markets and private property, there have been men and women throughout U.S. history who advocated for a different system. The ideas of Eugene Debs, Emma Goldman, Upton Sinclair, Norman Thomas, and John Reed were never accepted by the majority of Americans. However, their outspoken criticisms of capitalism were influential in the political and economic development of the United States. This new collective biography provides young readers with vivid portraits of these five radical figures.
