The Workers’ Movement in the United States, 1879-1885

August Sartorius von Waltershausen

August Sartorius von Waltershausen (1852-1938) was an eminent German economist who visited the United States at the beginning of the 1880s and wrote a series of articles on the U.S. labor movement. His training in the historical school of economics provided him with a different perspective from that of laissez-faire economists or socialists of his time. The articles, presented in this book with two essays, provide rich insights into the character of American workers’ organizations as they recovered from the 1870s depression, before the establishment of strong national institutions.
