Labor and monopoly capital : the degradation of work in the Twentieth Century – Harry Braverman
«When it was published in 1974, Harry Braverman’s Labor and Monopoly Capital: The Degradation ofWork in the Twentieth Century immediately stood out among twentieth-century studies in the degree to which it penetrated the hidden abode ofthe workplace, providing the first clear, critical understanding in more than a century ofthe labor process as a whole within capitalist society. It thus opened the way to the flood ofradical investigations ofthe labor process that followed. Braverman’s success, where so many others had failed, was not simply fortuitous. Much of the basis for his achievement is to be found in his personal background.» (de la introducción de John Bellamy Foster)
