This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the industrial landscape of the early 20th century, providing insights into the dynamics of American industry during the Great Depression. Through an in-depth analysis of the Refractories Industry and its response to the National Industrial Recovery Act, the author explores the complex interplay between government, industry, and labor during this transformative era. The book delves into the economic challenges faced by the industry and the measures implemented to address them, including the establishment of minimum wages, maximum hours, and trade practices. It examines the role of the industry's Emergency National Committee in enforcing these regulations and fostering cooperation among its members.

The author's analysis of the Refractories Industry's experience provides a cautionary tale about the dangers of government overreach and the need for a balanced approach that respects both the interests of business and the well-being of workers.
