About This Book
It traces the emergence of the modern labor movement and analyzes how industrial capitalism transformed producers into a wage-earning proletariat, concentrating ownership of machinery and raw materials and deepening division of labor. It explores the social and economic mechanisms that produce worker alienation, hierarchical factory structures, and the growing power of capital as an impersonal social force. Against that background it presents anarchist critiques within the labor movement, outlines tensions between anti-authoritarian strategies and other socialist currents, and examines organizational proposals, ethical premises, and practical obstacles confronting anarchist influence in mass politics.
