The Struggle for Market Power: Industrial Relations in the British Coal Industry, 1800-1840 James A. Jaffe

During the Industrial Revolution, class was defined largely through the structuring of market relations. Integrating aspects of economic and social history as well as industrial sociology, this book examines the sources of the perception of the market onthe part of both capital and labor and the elaboration of their alternative market ideologies. Of particular import is the argument that working class culture expressed a fundamental acceptance of the utility of the market, a point that is supported by adetailed analysis of the labor process, workplace bargaining and early nineteenth century trade unionism. Nonetheless, the working class"s definition of "proper" market relations differed substantially from that of capitalists.
