- Title
LONG SWINGS AND SPATIAL YARDSTICKS: NEW DIRECTIONS IN AMERICAN LABOR HISTORY (2).
- Abstract
The article presents the author's insights on recent literature in labor economics and on the historical account of the evolution of labor markets. The author mentions studies on labor markets which focus on the existence of structural and qualitative differences in the jobs and labor markets, through which workers secure their livelihoods, in the U.S. and elsewhere. David M. Gordon, Richard Edwards and Michael Reich (GER) in the book "Segmented Work, Divided Workers: The Historical Transformation of Labor in the United States," have argued that the origins of the current segmentation of the labor market in the U.S. lie in the profound economic crisis of the 1930s. The book "Working-Class Life: The American Standard in Comparative Perspective, 1890-1913," by Peter Shergold is discussed.
