A major breakthrough. Not only is this volume a collaboration between Soviet and American scholars, it is a first attempt at empirical verification of abstract concepts of labour that have been in use for some time. The essays focus on three key themes: the differences in the role of workers in core and peripheral countries; the relationship between nationalism and working class movements; and the increasing qualification of workers and the ′deskilling′ of work. Fascinating differences in approach and conclusions between American and Soviet researchers are revealed.
