"What explains the enormous variation in unionization and why has the last decade been so hostile to organized labor? Bruce Western tackles these questions in an analysis of labor union organization in eighteen capitalist democracies from 1950 to 1990. Combining insights from sociology and economics in a novel way, Western views unions as the joint product of market forces and political and economic institutions.".
"The author argues that three institutional conditions are essential for union growth: strong working-class political parties, centralized collective bargaining, and union-run unemployment insurance. These conditions shaped the impact of market currents and explain variations across industries, among countries, and over time for the four decades since 1950.
Between Class and Market traces the story of the postwar labor movements through a blend of historical investigation and sophisticated statistical analysis in an innovative comparative framework."--BOOK JACKET.
