Labor History

Labor History is the preeminent interdisciplinary academic journal on labor. Our focus is global. Our concern is the past, present, and future of labor.

Capitalism is rule of capital, for capital, and of capital. True democracy can only be achieved with direct workers-democracy at the workplace.

[Labor History @LaborHistory123]

The problem with globalization is that it is the universalization of mobile 'capital' at the expense of labor. Real globalization must begin with the abolition of the nation-state and free mobility of labor.

[Labor History @LaborHistory123]

Capital realized long ago that mainstream economics serves a purely ideological role & has nothing to offer to actual business. It responded by creating the 'business school'. If labor had the same resources, it would long ago have responded with schools of their own to organize.

An update from our correspondent in Oklahoma:

"Today's strike and protest in the capitol is even bigger than yesterday. A huge number of students are here, many of whom spoke at a student rally this morning. The momentum continues to grow."
