" ... written expressly for the people, especially the workingmen, that is, the farmers, mechanics, laborers, and necessary traders and useful mental workers, and in open hostility to drones, and useless and wasteful, and idle and unnecessary aristocracy, that is living on the vitals of the people, and giving no good in return"--Page 5

Excerpt from The Workingman's Guide and the Laborer's Friend and Advocate: The Great Social Question Solved It may not be amiss to give the intended definition, according to Webster, of a few words, that some saw ney may consider unfit to be used in that place, such as Abaddon, Apollyon, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Belial, Davy Jones, Pluto, the Deuce, are evil spirits. Infer nal, suitable to the Spirits of Tartarus, which relates to the lower spirits (infernal, like evil spirits); stygian, the same: liar, thief, villain, scoundrel, pandemonium, are well known; the last word is the council hall of evil spirits. Some nice aristocrats will find fault that we use some hard epithets about the aristocrats, and one shallow-pate said we had no right to say anything against the black Republicans. We are the advocate of the workingman, and we consider that the aristo cratic thieves are indicted and put on trial, and we are the advocate, and introduce the testimony. Which is history, both ancient and modern, and government statistics, often their own make, or taken by govern ment officers; and if the records show that they lied, cheated, swintlled, swore falsely, charged exorbitant prices, robbed, stole, stole land, were criminals, male.

Deftly blending social and business history with economic analysis, Employing Bureaucracy shows how the American workplace shifted from a market-oriented system to a bureaucratic one over the course of the 20th century. Jacoby explains how an unstable, haphazard employment relationship evolved into one that was more enduring, equitable, and career-oriented. This revised edition presents a new analysis of recent efforts to re-establish a market orientation in the workplace. This book is a definitive history of the human resource management profession in the United States, showing its diverse roots in engineering, welfare work, and vocational guidance. It explores the recurring tension between the new professional order and traditional line management. Using a variety of sources, Jacoby analyzes the complex relations between personnel managers, labor unions, and government from the late 19th century to the present. Employing Bureaucracy: *analyzes the origins of the modern employment relationship's distinctive features; *combines a variety of disciplinary perspectives, from business and labor history to economics, sociology, and management; *shows the transformation of the American workplace over the course of the 20th century, from market-oriented to bureaucratic to recent efforts to move back to a market orientation; and *provides the single-best and most sophisticated history of the origins and development of the modern "HR" profession. For historians, social scientists, and practitioners, this book is a readable and rewarding study. With the future of work currently under debate, it is critical that the historical process that produced the modern American workplace is understood.
