Man To Man

""Man to Man: The Story of Industrial Democracy"" is a book written by John Leitch and published in 1919. The book explores the concept of industrial democracy, which is the idea that workers should have a say in the management and decision-making processes of their workplaces. Leitch argues that this is not only a moral imperative but also a practical necessity for a successful and sustainable economy. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the development of industrial democracy, tracing its roots back to the guilds of medieval Europe and the cooperative movement of the 19th century. The second part examines the practical implementation of industrial democracy in various industries and countries, including Britain, Germany, and the United States. The final part discusses the challenges and obstacles that stand in the way of achieving industrial democracy, such as the resistance of employers and the lack of education and organization among workers. Throughout the book, Leitch emphasizes the importance of collaboration and cooperation between workers and management, arguing that this is the key to creating a more equitable and efficient workplace. He also highlights the role of trade unions and other labor organizations in promoting industrial democracy and advocating for workers' rights. Overall, ""Man to Man: The Story of Industrial Democracy"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of an important and timely topic. It remains relevant today as debates continue about the role of workers in the modern economy and the need for greater democracy and accountability in the workplace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
