About this book
Diesseits wie jenseits des Atlantiks interpretierten Arbeiter die ungezĂŒgelte Macht des freien Marktes als eine Bedrohung fĂŒr ihr VerstĂ€ndnis von Autonomie und Teilhabe. Widerstand gegen die "Kommodifizierung der fiktiven Ware Arbeit" war wesentlich im Kampf fĂŒr politische, soziale und ökonomische Rechte. Am Beispiel der Bewegung zur VerkĂŒrzung des Arbeitstags im mittleren 19. Jh. kann Philipp Reick zeigen, dass weder die US-amerikanische Arbeiterbewegung als Abweichung von einer vermeintlichen Norm gelten noch die deutsche Arbeiterbewegung als Verkörperung dieser Norm verstanden werden kann.
