Capitalist Class Agency And The New Deal Order: Against The Notion Of A Limited Capital-Labor Accord, Richard Mcintyre Dec 2012

Capitalist Class Agency And The New Deal Order: Against The Notion Of A Limited Capital-Labor Accord, Richard Mcintyre

RICHARD P MCINTYRE

Radical economists’ thinking continues to be influenced by the notion of a “limited postwar capital-labor accord.” But a careful accounting of historical scholarship since the 1980s shows the stylized thinking found in social structures of accumulation (SSA) literature and radical political economy generally to be inaccurate and misleading: inaccurate because it creates an image of a golden age that never was, and misleading in that it suggests a politics of social cooperation rather than worker militancy.

Employment relations scholarship in turn provides a model for careful, institutionally rich, and politically engaged research.

It is as if proclaiming “workers’ rights are human rights” can only cause good things to happen. Joseph McCartin’s essay contributes to a more balanced and sophisticated discussion of the effects of rights talk for labor.
