| dc.description | The paper was presented in a session with one other paper and with about 50 people in attendance. There were three commentators on the paper chosen by the conference organizers and they were all very generous in their comments. The following day I was approached by the key conference organizer who indicated that he was attempting to have the better publications from this conference published as a book. He was writing the proposal to Duke University Press, and wanted to include two papers that would give the Press an indication of the likely quality of the articles overall. Mine was one of the two that he wished to send. In several sessions after I presented my paper, presenters and commentators referred to my paper. So, on the whole, this was a great success. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | This paper looks globally at the ways in which workers attempted to win a degree of income stability through state guarantees of social entitlements in two periods: first, the Great Depression, when income stability via jobs proved untenable, and the period of neo-liberalism from 1975 onwards when social wage programs won from the Depression onwards came under steady attack from conservative forces who alleged that they limited economic growth. The paper suggests reasons why workers in some countries and on some continents made more gains than other during these two periods. | en |
