In the ladies' garment industry, a unique experiment in industrial democracy brought together labor, management, and the public. As Richard Greenwald explains, it was an attempt to 'square free market capitalism with ideals of democracy to provide a fair and just workplace.' Led by Louis Brandeis, this group negotiated the 'Protocols of Peace.' But in the midst of this experiment, 146 mostly young, immigrant women died in the Triangle Factory Fire of 1911. As a result of the fire, a second, interrelated experiment, New York's Factory Investigating Commission - led by Robert Wagner and Al Smith - created one of the largest reform successes of the period. Together, these two experiments changed the relationship between labor, management, and the state for years to come" [from the back cover] ISBN: 1592131751 Book is in Very Good Plus Condition: Former owner added a dozen scattered marginal brackets in the (40 page) Bibliography without comment (one of the pages with upper right corner crease); otherwise, all pages are flawless: bright, clean, tight, and unmarked.
