Corporate And Class Restructuring

Analyzing how the new institutional arrangements and corporate structures redefined class relations in US society and the workplace, this book gives particular attention to the realignment of the political and economic institutions, and how this realignment was affected by historical contingencies and the exercise of political power. The author provides a critical evaluation of the political process that produced the new federalism, a shift in the tax burden from corporations to individuals, a decline in federal revenues, and lower earnings and higher taxes for the working classes. The book also examines the restructured class relations in the workplace, including changes in how employees are monitored, and changes in employee decision-making, autonomy and authority.
