In Bread and Work, Matt Perry places this global unemployment crisis in its proper international context. Focusing on Britain, Europe and the United States, he compares and contrasts popular attitudes and the government response toward unemployment.Looking beyond statistics and economic cycles, Perry investigates the human impact of unemployment. He uncovers the experience of being jobless from the perspective of those who lived through it, their employers and their communities. He uses oral history, memoirs, literary accounts, and newspaper articles to reveal the reality of unemployment.Perry argues that the scale of the crisis has been minimised by historians who have tended to emphasise that prolonged unemployment was the problem of the distressed fringe. Finally, Perry argues that the lessons of the 1930's have direct relevance today since the structural problems of industrial capitalism remain inherent.UnemploymentGreat BritainHistory20th centuryUnemploymentUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnemploymentEuropeHistory20th centuryUnemploymentHistoryUnemploymentHistoryUnemploymentHistory331.13/7941/09041Perry Matt1967-524158MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822046603321Bread and work3950796UNINA
