{"product_id":"the-full-employment-horizon-in-michael-dennis-9781350205703","title":"The Full Employment Horizon in 20th-Century America: The Movement for Economic Democracy","description":"Through moments of social protest, policy debate, and popular mobilization, this book follows the campaign for economic democracy and the fight for full employment in the United States. Starting in the 1930s, Dennis explores its intellectual and philosophical underpinnings, the class struggle that determined the fate of legislation and the role of left-wing civil rights activists in its revival. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDemonstrating how the campaign for full employment intersected with movements for women's liberation and civil rights, it explores how social groups and oppressed minorities interpreted and appropriated the promise of full employment. For many, full employment provided an indispensable path to racial and gender emancipation. In this book, Dennis uncovers the class dimensions and the resistance to full employment in the US. He demonstrates how the recurring debates over full employment consistently exposed the contradictions inherent in a capitalist society and challenged the assertion that an allegedly free enterprise system automatically generated employment for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Dennis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350205702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350205703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.62d","brand":"Michael Dennis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071395229951,"sku":"9781350205703","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f50506df-1ae4-4115-8e78-503645302ab7.jpg?v=1685435842","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-full-employment-horizon-in-michael-dennis-9781350205703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
