- Abstract
We begin with Gideon Cohn-Poster's article, "Vote for your Bread and Butter", which examines the employers' widespread use of economic voter intimidation throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Employers' layoff threats and their systematic surveillance of workers at the polls amounted to economic warfare against workers exercising their political rights. "War", the Prussian general and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz famously observed, "is the continuation of politics by other means.".
