A Kind of Peace: The Advent of Taft-Hartley --Conclusion: The End of Class Conflict? --Notes --Bibliography --IndexThe Great Industrial War, a comprehensive assessment of how class has been interpreted by the media in American history, documents the rise and fall of a frightening concept: industrial war. Moving beyond the standard account of labor conflict as struggles between workers and management, Troy Rondinone asks why Americans viewed big strikes as "battles" in "irrepressible conflict" between the armies of capital and laborùa terrifying clash between workers, strikebreakers, police, and soldiers. Examining how the mainstream press along with the writings of a select group of influential reformers and politicians framed strike news, Rondinone argues that the Civil War, coming on the cusp of a revolution in industrial productivity, offered a gruesome, indelible model for national conflict. He follows the heated discourse on class war through the nineteenth century until its general dissipation in the mid-twentieth century. Incorporating labor history, cultural studies, linguistic anthropology, and sociology, The Great Industrial War explores the influence of historical experience on popular perceptions of social order and class conflict and provides a reinterpretation of the origins and meaning of the Taft-Hartley Act and the industrial relations regime it supported.Labor disputesUnited StatesHistorySocial conflictUnited StatesHistoryElectronic books.Labor disputesHistory.Social conflictHistory.305.50973/09041Rondinone Troy1973-1045474MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464066803321The great industrial war2471788UNINA05331oam 2200649I 450 991046524820332120200520144314.01-283-59050-697866139029550-203-80724-31-136-66094-110.4324/9780203807248 (CKB)2560000000092914(EBL)1020327(OCoLC)810077976(SSID)ssj0000737595(PQKBManifestationID)12367041(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000737595(PQKBWorkID)10787901(PQKB)10589922(MiAaPQ)EBC1020327(Au-PeEL)EBL1020327(CaPaEBR)ebr10598554(CaONFJC)MIL390295(EXLCZ)99256000000009291420180706d2012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe global economics of sport /Chris Gratton.

There is no corner of the Earth that isn't reached by coverage of global sporting mega-events such as the Olympics or the World Cup, events managed by international governing bodies such as the IOC and FIFA that operate like major international businesses. Companies such as Nike now design, produce, distribute and market their products across every continent, while an increasingly important part of every country's sport market is now international in terms of its influences and opportunities. This book is the first to examine the economics of contemporary sport using the global market as the primary unit of analysis. Starting with a survey of the changing nature of the sports market over the last hundred years, the book explores the difficulties of measuring the true scale and impact of the global sports economy, employing a wealth of empirical data to define and analyze the sports market and all its sub-sectors. Drawing on case studies from the UK, North America, Europe, the Far East and beyond, the book concludes with a look forward over the next twenty years, offering a powerful forecast for the evolution of the global sports market. This book is essential reading for any student or professional with an interest in the economics of sport"--Provided by publisher.Sports and globalizationCross-cultural studiesSportsEconomic aspectsCross-cultural studiesElectronic books.Sports and globalizationSportsEconomic aspects796.06/91Gratton Chris1948-855489MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465248203321The global economics of sport2260259UNINA
