Business history and labor history have long evolved along separate paths, largely in isolation from one another. Political turmoil in many advanced industrial nations, driven in part by working-class populism, highlights the need to reckon with the ways that the labor question, long neglected in the United States and elsewhere, deserves attention from business historians.

Political turmoil in many advanced industrial nations, driven in part by working-class populism, highlights the need to reckon with the ways that the labor question, long neglected in the United States and elsewhere, deserves attention from business historians.
