| Résumé : | This is a study of a turning-point in British social history and of problems of conflict between employers and employed. It fixes its viewpoint in the stormy years just before the First World War, when strikes in Britain were so numerous and menacing that many observers believed the country was approaching a general upheaval. This strife came at the time of the great changes in British society that had been signalised by the General Election of 1906, and the book opens with an account of the condition of the people then, their food and dress and health, their homes and children, and also their working lives and it goes on to describe how employers and employed dealt with one another in that setting. The struggles of 1906-14 also provide an exposure of the universal mainsprings of strife in industry, and in accounting for them this book brings to bear some of the insights into the sources of conflict which the social sciences have attained in recent years, so as to provide something of a philosophy of industrial relations generally. |
