An Appreciation of Selig Perlman‘s A Theory of the Labor Movement
评析了威斯康星学派劳工史与劳工经济学的兴衰背景,重点探讨珀尔曼的劳工运动理论及其对劳工史和劳工经济学的不同影响。
The Wisconsin school of labor history and labor economics rose and fell within a particular historical context. While Richard T. Ely studied labor union movements in pursuit of furthering social progress, others, such as John R. Commons and Selig Perlman, desired to understand the social constitution of these movements. Perlman played a pivotal role by developing a theory of the labor movement. This theory, while having had a significant impact on the development of labor history, had relatively less impact on the development of labor economics.
