{"product_id":"manufacturing-consent-michael-burawoy-9780226080383","title":"Manufacturing Consent: Changes in the Labor Process Under Monopoly Capitalism","description":"Since the 1930s, industrial sociologists have tried to answer the question, Why do workers not work harder? Michael Burawoy spent ten months as a machine operator in a Chicago factory trying to answer different but equally important questions: Why do workers work as hard as they do? Why do workers routinely consent to their own exploitation? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eManufacturing Consent\u003c\/i\u003e, the result of Burawoy's research, combines rich ethnographical description with an original Marxist theory of the capitalist labor process. \u003ci\u003eManufacturing Consent\u003c\/i\u003e is unique among studies of this kind because Burawoy has been able to analyze his own experiences in relation to those of Donald Roy, who studied the same factory thirty years earlier. Burawoy traces the technical, political, and ideological changes in factory life to the transformations of the market relations of the plant (it is now part of a multinational corporation) and to broader movements, since World War II, in industrial relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Burawoy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226080382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226080383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.54w x 0.65d","brand":"Michael Burawoy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981505790207,"sku":"9780226080383","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_312c3aa4-9deb-47a4-9ef1-a6c90bcfd97b.jpg?v=1683255979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/manufacturing-consent-michael-burawoy-9780226080383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
