Summary: "In 1912, it was possible for Americans to believe that economic democracy was a goal that could be achieved. In those days, the country was still in a state of flux, still trying to define itself. As part of the process, a panoply of political parties -- the populists, the socialists, the single taxers- had elected Mayors, Congressmen and Senators who possessed and unflinching belief in the importance of redistributing income. Of course, the labor movement was a lynchpin of that belief. And this book -- the story of the great Lawrence textile strike of 1912 - provides and important chapter in labor's saga." -- introduction.
