This volume explores these changes in the context of four very different societies: Germany, Sweden, Britain and Japan. However, despite their manifest differences, the author demonstrates that for long periods their labour markets were similar in many crucial respects. The book discusses: * the failure of neo-corporatism in Britain in the 1970's and the subsequent rise of Thatcherism; * the rise of Japan as a model for orderly industrial relations in the 1970 410 0$aRoutledge explorations in economic history ;$v2. 606 $aLabor market$xHistory$y20th century$vCase studies 606 $aUnemployment$xHistory$y20th century$vCase studies 606 $aIndustrial relations$xHistory$y20th century$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLabor market$xHistory 615 0$aUnemployment$xHistory 615 0$aIndustrial relations$xHistory 676 $a331.12 700 $aStrath$b Bo$f1943,$0999392 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449757503321 996 $aThe organisation of labour markets$92293109 997 $aUNINA
