Rethinking work and power in America’s economy.

This concise, provocative volume argues that the current capitalist system creates widespread wage-slavery and social inequity, and it lays out a bold plan for constitutional changes to empower workers and reshape industry.

The book surveys the history of labor, law, and economics, warning that ordinary workers face daily risks and limited control over their livelihoods. It connects workplace harms to broader political and legal structures, and it urges readers to consider active participation in shaping a more just economy.

Clear explanations of labor rights, wage systems, and the role of government in employment.
A roadmap for how constitutional amendments could redefine labor, compensation, and work conditions.
Analysis of the relationship between capital, labor, and the state in the early 20th century.
Convincing arguments for greater worker influence in lawmaking and policy.

Ideal for readers of labor history, social policy, and those exploring how to balance freedom with economic fairness in modern society.
