- Abstract
For a long time it has been easy to think that welfare capitalism of big, nonunionized employers after the New Deal had been simply marginalized, dormant and reactive as a managerial, sociocultural, and political phenomenon relegated by organized labor and the welfare state to insignificance for the lives of most Americans. Sanford Jacoby's book on welfare capitalism now makes it impossible to hold those views. Instead, his "Modern Manors" shows companies like Kodak, Sears Roebuck and TRW to have been a powerful force whose practices reemerged ascendant in the 1970s onward, having in the meantime exercised considerable influence over unionized sectors of the labor market and over the welfare state itself.
