{"product_id":"capitalist-development-and-class-capacities-jerry-lembcke-9780313262098","title":"Capitalist Development and Class Capacities: Marxist Theory and Union Organization","description":"This thought-provoking study argues for a restoration of the classical Marxist position linking the development process, class formation, and class capacities; in practical terms it argues for a restoration of strategies premised on a dialectical understanding of capitalism that sees the process of proletarianization as a capacity-enhancing one rather than a capacity-eroding one. Lembcke adopts Therborn's position that the fundamental power resource available to the working class is its capacity for unity through mutually supported and concerted practices, and that this capacity is rooted in the organizational structure. His work synthesizes three major areas of thought on the subject, including the work in logics of collective action (Offe and Wiesenthal), studies of class formation (Gordon, Edwards, and Reich) and class capacities (Therborn), and organizational studies done within the strategic choices framework (Cornfield).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerry Lembcke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313262098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313262098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.42w x 0.85d","brand":"Jerry Lembcke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001137021183,"sku":"9780313262098","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f42d000b-bd42-4fb1-bd18-6ba2e9436f6b.jpg?v=1751600173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/capitalist-development-and-class-capacities-jerry-lembcke-9780313262098","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
