Description

Explore a foundational study of economic history with Work and Authority in Industry. This classic text by Bendix examines how the entrepreneurial class responded to the challenges of creating and managing industrial workforces. By comparing the United States, England, and Russia, the book provides a deep look into how different industrial societies developed their managerial ideologies. Originally published in 1965, this work has become a standard reference for understanding the evolution of industrialization. It presents the significant idea that the behavior of the capitalist class can be a primary factor in determining historical events, often carrying more weight than the actions of the working class. This perspective has since become widely accepted in the field of sociology and economic history. Whether you are a student of anthropology, sociology, or economic history, this Routledge publication offers a penetrating re-examination of how authority and work structures were established during the industrial era. It remains a vital resource for understanding the historical roots of modern industrial management and social structures.
