Title : AGIR ENSEMBLE: Penser la démocratie syndicale Material Type: printed text Authors: Christian Nadeau, Author Publisher: Éditions Somme Toute Publication Date: 2017 ISBN (or other code): NADLAB2017 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Labour, Unionism, Working-Class Keywords: syndicalism, democratic syndicalism, la démocratie syndicale, Québec, unions, democracy Abstract: "Deux constats semblent partagés par une large proportion de la population québécoise. D’une part, notre vie démocratique serait bien mal en point, compte tenu du faible taux d’investissement des citoyens dans la vie politique et de son cynisme. D’autre part, le mouvement syndical serait sclérosé en ne défendant plus que des intérêts corporatistes. Dans son essai, le philosophe et professeur Christian Nadeau prend acte de ces constats et propose un renouvellement du syndicalisme, plus précisément de la démocratie syndicale. L’action politique ne se réduisant pas aux scrutins électoraux, Nadeau démontre que les syndicats peuvent et doivent être des institutions favorisant une vie démocratique de meilleure qualité et qui permette des délibérations éclairées sur les enjeux majeurs auxquels nous faisons face."

Title : American Labor Material Type: printed text Authors: Henry Pelling, Author Publisher: University of Chicago Press Publication Date: 1960 Series: The Chicago History of American Civilization ISBN (or other code): LabPel1960 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Labour, Unionism, Working-Class Keywords: American Labor, America, Labour, Labor, History Abstract: "This highly readable and authoritative narrative history of labor in the United States examines three hundred years of Americans at work and attempts to discover what is uniquely "American" about our labor experience and why that experience has been woven inseparably into the whole story of American exceptionalism. From the days when bonded servants and free craftsmen helped settle the Colonies, through the turning point of post-Civil War industrialization, past all the crucial stages of labor unionism up to the present, American workers have been united in a seemingly irresistible quest for an American standard of living. Today, when American workers enjoy the highest wages in the world, it seems especially appropriate to learn how they pursued and realized that quest."

Title : Capital in the Twenty-First Century Material Type: printed text Authors: Thomas Piketty, Author ; Arthur Goldhammer, Author Publisher: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Publication Date: 2014 ISBN (or other code): LABPIK2014 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Labour, Unionism, Working-Class Keywords: Piketty, Capitalism, Economics, History Abstract: What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of the political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In *Capital in the Twenty-First Century,* Thomas Piketty analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings will transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality.
Piketty shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality—the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth—today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, Piketty says, and may do so again.
A work of extraordinary ambition, originality, and rigor, *Capital in the Twenty-First Century* reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.Capital in the Twenty-First Century [printed text] / Thomas Piketty, Author ; Arthur Goldhammer, Author . - [S.l.] : The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2014.
