Abstract:

This chapter examines the issues surrounding player draft in professional sports leagues. During the postwar era, baseball officials and players often mentioned free agents. Unlike the free agents of our era, however, these players were talented amateur players. Indeed, high school and college players constituted the remaining vestige of a free market for baseball labor during the postwar era. The owners quickly discovered that this free market for labor was costly and made attempts to curb spending on amateur players, sparking allegations of cheating that led to distrust among them.

This chapter examines the Philippines's authority over labor complaints in Hawaiʻi, with particular emphasis on the position of resident labor commissioner that Filipino U.S. colonials in Hawaiʻi lobbied for and acquired in 1923.

It then considers the creation of a permanent worker representative in the islands through the Philippine legislature.

In this book, Yilmaz Aliskan discusses the capitalist exploitation of digital media and examines how free time and creativity can be exploited in open source communities, with corporations often benefiting from community-generated knowledge. Focusing on open-source hardware communities, in which hackers give up a considerable amount of free time and creativity to create open technology, Aliskan investigates how free time becomes a “hyper-exploited” commodity from which capital is increasingly accumulated. Whereas paid workers are still often exploited, Aliskan posits that open-source workers a

Abstract:

This book shows that full employment has been rare in the United States in the last 150 years; excessive unemployment has been the norm. Against prominent economists who argue that unemployment is voluntary choice, it shows by analysis and many stories that being unemployed is painful and not something people choose lightly. It argues that hidden unemployment and a continuing labor surplus help explain why average real wages in 2019 are not much above their level of the early 1970s. The book locates consequential ideas about unemployment on a continuum between two opposing views. The free-mark

This chapter examines Wakefield’s political economic arguments and policy proposals for the colonial settlement of Australasia as a systematic solution to the demographic problems of overpopulation in Britain and underpopulation in Britain’s colonies. It is argued that Wakefield’s theory of “systematic colonization” aimed to protect the British capitalist civilization from social revolution at home and frontier barbarism in the colonies. Equating capitalist civilization with wage labor, Wakefield planned for the creation of a legally free yet structurally dependent colonial labor force. This w

This chapter focuses on the Detroit business community's opposition to the growth of the government. These men made little distinction between the New Deal, Socialism, and Communism. The former, they argued, would ultimately lead to the latter. As a result, Detroit businessmen during the late 1940s and 1950s carried out a campaign to check state power. They targeted labor, particularly the United Automobile Workers (UAW), in this fight because they saw the union as one of the greatest advocates of an expanded welfare state. Like other conservatives, these men were anti-Communists. Their hostil

This chapter reconceptualizes the Depression-era Soviet experience, using Marx's concept of primitive accumulation, with its emphasis on dispossession, proletarianization, and violence. Primitive accumulation is a process that characterized the transition from feudalism to capitalism. For Marx, what distinguished capitalism from earlier forms of wealth accumulation through trade was the dispossession of the peasantry, an agricultural population set free with nothing to sell but its labor power: “The so-called primitive accumulation, therefore, is nothing else than the historical process of div

Abstract Race, Time, and Utopia: Critical Theory and the Process of Emancipation argues that racial injustice, at its core, is the domination of time, and utopia has been the response to this domination. The racially dominated are not free to define what counts as “progress,” they are not free from the accumulation of past injustices, and, most importantly, they are not free from the arbitrary organization of work in capitalist labor markets. Racially unjust societies are forms of life where the justifications for how to organize time around life, labor, and leisure are out of the hands of the

Here Leopoldo Zea, the presumptive leader of the Hiperión group, appeals to Sartrean existentialism in order to make his case for the responsibility of philosophy and philosophers. He writes that persons have been thrown into a world that they did not create, which places them in the presence of others for whom they are now responsible. Just as Sartre had announced that persons were condemned to be free, Zea here proclaims that they are condemned to this commitment and this responsibility. This is a call to all Mexican and Latin American philosophers who might believe that the labor of philoso

Abstract:

This book confronts the hotly debated prospect of mounting job losses from automation, and the divergent hopes and fears that prospect evokes, and proposes a strategy for mitigating the losses and spreading the gains from shrinking demand for human labor. Leading economists have concluded that automation is already exacerbating inequality by destroying more decent middle-skill jobs than it is creating. As ongoing innovations in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics continue to chip away at the comparative advantages of human labor in a range of work tasks, those innovations a

It then examines whether the liberalization of trade-and-investment enhances economic growth, particularly in developing countries.

Enterprise consumerization describes how technologies purchased by “enterprises” (i.e., organizations or companies) became consumer products. Mobile devices fall into this category because, as they became more affordable, individuals purchased them and brought them to work. As this trend proliferated, organizations had to protect their proprietary data, but their employees were clamoring for access to Wi-Fi. Their response: create bring-your-own-device-to-work (BYOD) policies. This chapter discusses human resources and global challenges surrounding BYOD policies. There are labor-law concerns a

This introductory chapter argues that studies of the industrialization of rural places like Hancock County can help in understanding the nature of industrial capitalism, particularly the relationship between capital mobility and the working class.

In “undeveloped” rural areas, some manufacturers believed that they could create new environments free of discord and find grateful and compliant pool of rural laborers—often

Much writing about 19th-century East Africa has been distorted by the legacy of post-Enlightenment thought as well as by more insidious racist ideologies. Humanitarian lobbies throughout Western Europe, strongly influenced by positivist ideas, and campaigning to highlight the ravages of the slave trade, condemned Africa in their writings and propaganda to the periphery, outside universal history. Africa was reduced to a continent of slavery, in which the market, entrepreneurship and free wage labour could not exist. These ideas penetrated scholarly works and still survive in some guises.

But so far no book has been written about their private lives, their physiology, and their anatomy and biochemistry—in short, the normal function
