Injury Impoverished
Workplace Accidents, Capitalism, and Law in the Progressive Era (Cambridge Historical Studies in American Law and Society)
Nate Holdren
Discover the dark history of workers' compensation laws in the late 19th and early 20th century US economy. In this thought-provoking book, Nate Holdren uses compelling narration and interdisciplinary perspectives to uncover the shortcomings of these laws, which left the injured and their loved ones with little recourse. While a step forward for workers' economic rights, the laws led to new forms of inequality and inhumanity toward people with disabilities. A must-read for those interested in law, class, and justice.
