Reviews

“An excellent, succinct account. . . . Papke ably familiarizes readers with the basic elements of business and labor history, along with the paternalistic nature of welfare capitalism at the town of Pullman.”
—The Historian

“A splendidly concise and engaging book, well-suited for both academic and general readers. Papke’s book reveals much about the nature of law in industrializing America.”
