Abstract

The impact of Harry Braverman's Labor and Monopoly Capital on the field of labor education has been enormous.

To this day, both Labor and Monopoly Capital and books inspired by it—Andrew Zimbalist's edited volume Case Studies on the Labor Process and Dan Clawson's Bureaucracy and the Labor Process (both also published by Monthly Review Press) come to mind—are frequently utilized in labor studies classes.
