Description
Wage disparity under capitalist competition remains a persistent issue despite high levels of market competition. In this analysis, Howard Botwinick argues that competition and technical change often work against wage equalization. Botwinick's classical Marxist approach provides the basis for a unified understanding of inequality within labor markets, particularly in relation to race and gender disparities. He advocates for militant union organization as a means to take wages and working conditions out of capitalist competition, challenging mainstream approaches to labor-management cooperation. This revised edition of Botwinick's work was originally published by Princeton University Press in 1993.
