Why America Lost the War on Poverty—and How to Win it
Staying Poor in the Clinton Boom: Welfare Reform and the Nearby Labor Force
Much poverty for employable Americans is caused not by welfare dependence or lack of schooling and skills, but by a labor glut that keeps many Americans unemployed or underemployed, and suppresses wage levels. In the 1980s and '90s employers slashed their workforces and the Federal Reserve Board often restrained economic growth to keep prices and wages from climbing too rapidly. Meanwhile, welfare reform cured little poverty and added millions to…
Why American Poverty Rates Stopped Falling in the '70s, and Why a Better Story Was Not Told About It
Against welfare dependence models, this paper argues that in the '70s Americans flooded the labor market, helping to suppress wages and make more people poor. It also argues that capitalist markets normally generate unemployment, which sustains poverty; capitalist nations in Europe with less poverty don't have better free markets but their governments pay needy people more. These facts were invisible in the U.S. because the right framed the pover…

Economic Success and Academic Professionalization: Questions from Two Decades of U.S. History (1908–1929)
Sociologists have debated extensively about the attributes and natural history of professions, roughly dividing along two lines. The taxonomic and functionalist views assume that professions rest on broad knowledge based on extensive, specialized training, usually, in the modern era, in a university setting. Because such knowledge is arcane and scarce and outsiders lack the expertise to judge it, society allows the profession to regulate itself a…
American Professors in the Progressive Era: Incomes, Aspirations, and Professionalism
American Professors in the Progressive Era: Incomes, Aspirations, and Professionalism In all that has been written about the professions, little has been done to analyze the social and economic history of individual professions or to test the linkages between professionalization and material success. On the contrary, Greenwood argued that professionals perform services primarily for psychic satisfaction and only secondarily for monetary compensat…

The Westcoast Association of Marxist Historians (Wamh)
The Westcoast Association of Marxist Historians (WAMH) was formed in the Fall of 1979 in Los Angeles. Most of us were involved in the renewal of critical, radical, and Marxist perspectives in historical scholarship, which was stimulated by revolutionary liberation movements in the Third World and the radical movements that emerged in the United States in the 1960s. We felt the need to come together to share ideas and give one another critical sup…
