The Labor Problem
None
Working-Class Life
This book challenges the commonly held theory that American workers had a far superior standard of living than their European counterparts in the early twentieth century. Peter R. Shergold bases his study on the cities of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Birmingham, England, and compares statistical data on wage rates, labor hours, family income, retail prices, diet and budgets. He also presents information from medical investigators, travelers, charity workers, business organizations, diaries, speeches and a wide variety of other sources to breathe human life into his statistical data. Shergold reveals that skilled Americans did earn higher wages than the British, yet unskilled workers did not, while Americans worked longer hours, with a greater chance of injury, and had fewer social services.
Retiring Men
This book explores how aging men struggled to sustain identities as workers, breadwinners, and patriarchs--the core ideals of twentieth-century masculinity--in the midst of increasing employer demands for the speed and stamina of youth in workplaces and the expansion of mandatory retirement policies in the age of Social Security.

The Discovery of First Principles
The Discovery of First Principles looks at the history of human settlement on the earth and the socio-political arrangements and institutions evolving over the ages. The author presents the case for the existence of universal moral principles that must serve as the basis of law if law is to be just. The story he tells is fascinating and insightful, drawing on the observations and commentary of many of the most thoughtful actors in this human drama.
