Why does the left talk so much about work? Verso Reading on Labor and Marxism
Books on work and Marxist theory, from across 50 years of publishing at Verso!
Why is every workplace tyrannical? Why must capitalists constantly intensify their exploitation of labour? And how can workers best fight today to gain power?
While the demands of workers continue to be scoffed at, these books will highlight how the labour movement has historically fought for victories.
Given that the basic social relations have not changed since the dawn of capitalism, studying the history of labor's victories in the past might provide clues to how gains can be won in the future.
