The Cambridge History of Socialism
This volume describes the various movements and parties, across all six continents, that wanted social change through state transformation. It begins with a reconstruction of social democracy's trajectories from the 1870s until the present. The evolution of socialism on different continents is illustrated through a number of national case studies. Experiments at a subnational level (for example, municipal socialism) are also explored, as are the …

German Trade Unions in the Nineteenth Century
The article explores the origins of trade unions in the nineteenth-century industrializing German economy. In German territories—in contrast to the United Kingdom and the United States—the labour movement emerged as a political movement, from which trade unions developed relatively late, under the auspices of Social Democratic Party initiatives, remaining under threat throughout the 1870s. We therefore have particular reason to examine the sociol…
Gérer le futur. Réflexions pour une historicisation du capitalisme à la lumière de la praxéologie
I. Discours sur le capitalisme Depuis au moins l’explosion de la bulle de l’immobilier et des hypothèques et la crise financière qui s’ensuivit en 2008, l’histoire du capitalisme est à nouveau en vogue. L’impression s’impose cependant que nombre des contributions proposées récemment dans ce champ n’ont fait que verser des millésimes de vins anciens – et pas seulement les meilleurs – dans de nouveaux fûts. On ne peut véritablement percevoir à ce j…
Wieviel kapitalistisches Unternehmen steckte in den Betrieben des real existierenden Sozialismus
The article offers a new perspective on the economic and business history of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). It argues that the historiographical emphasis on the “failure” of the East German planned economy should be replaced by an analysis of those factors which allowed the GDR economy to exist as long as it did and the effects they had on the system as a whole. To do so, the article first provides an overview of the structural conditions …
Kapitalismus und Konzepte von Arbeit
This article analyzes the role of free wage labor in Karl Marx’s and Max Weber’s theories of capitalism. Both view free wage labor as constitutive for capitalism, since, inMarx’s words, there is no capitalwithout a worker in full command of his labor power.Weber believed that it was more the fear of losing his or her only available source of income that motivated the worker to expend his or her labor power. Nevertheless, it took a long time for f…

Bottom of the barrel
Although the deep structural crisis of the American “Old-Time Saloon” and the beer brewing industry was self-inflicted, National Prohibition hit them hard in 1920. Whereas the saloon completely vanished from the scene, giving way to the more or less clandestine “speakeasy”, the brewing companies which did not go out of business altogether or did not resort to the production of legal surrogates like “near beer”, strove desperately after strategies…

Limites e perspectivas da ciência social histórica
Este artigo apresenta um balanço de uma das mais conhecidas correntes historiográficas alemãs contemporâneas, a saber, a ciência social histórica. À luz da crítica lançada à história social por parte de autores que se filiam a outras tradições historiográficas, tais como a nova história cultural, a micro-história e a história do cotidiano, o autor procura aprofundar a capacidade de autocrítica da tradição da ciência social histórica por meio de u…

Work in a Modern Society
Crossing the Boundaries? Dynamics of Contention Viewed from the Angle of a Comparative Historian
Comparative social history is still grappling with the problems raised in the debate about history's “cultural turn”. And while a new “social turn” seems imminent at the moment, this means a new departure into an actor-oriented analysis of institutions (including social movements and all forms of contentious politics) beyond the “cultural turn”, incorporating a host of compelling insights into the cultural constitution of social reality – and not…
L'histoire sociale du XIXe siecle
Cet article explique l’explosion sociale de 1936 par la convergence de trois mouvements, inscrits dans trois domaines et trois temporalités différentes : le temps court de la culture politique du Front populaire, où les occupations prolongent les manifestations de 1934-1936; le temps intermédiaire de la crise économique qui n’a pas pour conséquence de plonger la classe ouvrière dans la misère, mais de lui imposer des contraintes disciplinaires re…
