Synopsis

Explore thedebate around industrial power and political action in this critical study of syndicalism. This examination weighs claims, ideas, and practical outcomes to help readers decide what works in the fight for workers’ rights.

This book surveys how syndicalist theory meets real-world movement—from Britain to America—and contrasts it with traditional trade unionism and parliamentary politics. It argues for a balanced approach that combines organization in the workplace with political action, while offering a measured critique of direct action and its consequences.


  • Clear definitions of syndicalism, direct action, and the general strike.

  • Explanations of how labor movements interact with politics and law.

  • Historical perspectives on different countries and key moments in labor history.

  • Practical reflections on strategy, goals, and the risks of radical methods.



Ideal for readers of labor history and political theory seeking to understand how organized labor, politics, and social change intersect.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
