Labor and Capital in National Politics

"Labor and Capital in National Politics" is a comprehensive examination of the influence exerted by organized labor and business interests on the American political process. Harwood Lawrence Childs provides a detailed analysis of major organizations such as the American Federation of Labor and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, exploring their roles as pivotal intermediaries between the public and the government.The work investigates the internal mechanics, lobbying strategies, and political philosophies of these powerful groups. It addresses the fundamental question of how economic power is translated into political action and the impact these special interests have on national legislation and public policy. By scrutinizing the methods used to mobilize opinion and influence decision-makers, Childs offers a clear view of the complex power dynamics at play in Washington.Valuable for its historical perspective on industrial relations and political science, "Labor and Capital in National Politics" serves as an essential study of interest-group behavior. It highlights the growing significance of functional representation in a modern democracy and remains a critical text for understanding the intersection of economic forces and national governance.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
