Description and Table of Contents
Description
An unusual opportunity to compare the social science perspectives that prevail in the United States and the Soviet Union was provided by the third US--USSR Colloquium on World Labour and Social Change. Essay topics range widely to cover contemporary and historical analyses, developed and developing countries, capitalist and socialist states. The book illustrates the different ways in which scholars in the USA and USSR analyse comparable phenomena: technological change, economic and social structure, and working class behaviour.
