"Currarino's book will enable readers to understand the transformations that took place during the Gilded Age, not only in the minds of workers but in American society as a whole. Altogether, the book is an impressive accomplishment."-- Business History Review "Currarino's book will enable readers to understand the transformations that took place during the Gilded Age, not only in the minds of workers but also in American society as a whole. . . . An impressive accomplishment."-- Business History Review, "This is an important work, one of the most important recent books, not only in labor history, but in social theory. Filled with insights and surprising twists, it repays a careful reading and rereading. It is a model study; I have added it to my graduate reading lists and urge everyone to do the same."-- Labor History "This book is a valuable contribution to the history of the Gilded Age, as it provides scholars of the period with a concise intellectual history to better position studies of workers themselves."-- Labor: Studies in Working-Class History of the Americas, "This book is a valuable contribution to the history of the Gilded Age, as it provides scholars of the period with a concise intellectual history to better position studies of workers themselves."-- Labor: Studies in Working-Class History of the Americas, "Currarino's book will enable readers to understand the transformations that took place during the Gilded Age, not only in the minds of workers but in American society as a whole. Altogether, the book is an impressive accomplishment."-- Business History Review "Rosanne Currarino has provided a nuanced, deeply informed reading of the complex intellectual and cultural currents that shaped the labor question in the late nineteenth century. This is quite simply a marvelously informative book."-- The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, "Currarino's book will enable readers to understand the transformations that took place during the Gilded Age, not only in the minds of workers but in American society as a whole.

Altogether, the book is an impressive accomplishment."-- Business History Review "Currarino has identified a vital shift in the debate over the meaning of democracy in a nation where such a large portion of its citizens were dependent upon others for their livelihoods."-- American Historical Review, "This splendidly researched cultural and intellectual history of the 'labor question' during the Gilded Age offers a masterful explanation of the move from a producerist to a consumerist understanding of citizenship and labor. The Labor Question in America will be widely read by students and scholars of the labor movement, the development of twentieth-century liberalism, and the history of the Gilded Age."--Lawrence M.

Synopsis
Rosanne Currarino traces the struggle to define the nature of democratic life in an era of industrial strife. As Americans confronted the glaring disparity between democracy's promises of independence and prosperity and the grim realities of economic want and wage labour, they asked, ''What should constitute full participation in American society? What standard of living should citizens expect and demand?'' Currarino traces the diverse efforts to answer to these questions, from the fledgling trade union movement to contests over immigration, from economic theory to popular literature, from legal debates to social reform. The contradictory answers that emergedoone stressing economic participation in a consumer society, the other emphasizing property ownership and self-relianceoremain pressing today as contemporary scholars, journalists, and social critics grapple with the meaning of democracy in post-industrial America.
