[URPE] Radical economic history of U.S.?

Mon May 31 19:14:24 MDT 2010

There is a surfeit of superb work in US Labor and 
Working Class History.  Folks should look at 
three journals Labor: Studies in the Working 
Class History of the Americas, International 
Labor and Working Class History, and Labor 
History to see current scholarship.

Two excellent, recent surveys worth starting 
with: Lichtenstein, State of the Union and Who 
Built America: Part I and Part II. 
Lichtenstein's new book Retail Revolution on 
Wal-Mart is an excellent piece of applied and 
current political economy.
