Economic Development and the Labour Movement

Abstract

The history of organized labour movements covers now about a century and a half or more. During that period various types of labour movements have appeared on the stage of history. Many have come and gone: highly political movements with heavy ideological commitments, bread-and-butter unions refusing to be involved in social reform movements, organizations committed to national liberation and rapid industrialization, others endeavouring to combine practical day-by-day activities with dedication to a long-run social ideal, etc. No type seems to be guaranteed survival; none is doomed from the outset. A few have survived as they were at the origins. Others, perhaps most, have changed their character with the passage of time.
