The Work-Wage Exchange
In Time for Things: Labor, Leisure, and the Rise of Mass Consumption, Stephen D. Rosenberg asks a central question about the last seventy-five years in the United States and much of the advanced capitalist world: Why, with the enormous gain in productivity since World War II, has consumption and income risen dramatically, but time free from wage work has not? As often noted, economists long expected technological innovation and accumulated wealth…
Machines of Youth

With coverage devoted to both dramatic breakthroughs and incremental innovations, authors Gary Cross and Rick Szostak analyze the cause-and-effect relationship of technological change and its role in the constant drive for improvement an…
An all-consuming century
"An All-Consuming Century is a rich history of how market goods came to dominate American life over that remarkable hundred years between 1900 and 2000 and why for the first time in history there are no practical limits to consumerism."--BOOK JACKET.

Immigrant Workers in Industrial France
In Immigrant Workers in Industrialized France, Gary Cross blazed the trail of immigrant studies with this finely wrought study at the crossroads of labor studies and immigration history. Cross inaugurated in-depth research into the ways in which France welcomed immigrants from the 1880s onward. He starts with the formative period before World War I, when employers’ groups actively recruited foreign workers for their fields, factories, and mines, …
Immigrant Workers in Industrial France
Toward Social Peace and Prosperity
Alone in Western Europe and against a world-wide trend toward restricting migrations, France encouraged a great wave of immigration in the decade after World War I. From a prewar high of 1.18 million foreigners in 1911 (or 2.9 per cent of the population), the number rose to 2.98 million in 1931 (or 6.6 per cent).1 Much of this increase can be understood as compensation for France's drastic loss of productive population during the war. Yet postwar…
