解説
Nineteenth-century employers played a crucial role in the training and education of young workers in England. This multi-disciplinary study traces the connection between problems of technical education development and the increasingly antagonistic relations with skilled workers, culminating in the Great Strike and Lockout of 1897. Charting the development of machine tools from 1850 and the pivotal work of Victorian engineers such as Whitworth and Nasmyth, the book assesses their significance in the collapse of union resistance to labour substitution. The work of F.W. Taylor is reassessed, and braverman's critique is re-appraised to reveal how British employers gained real, technological dominance over the strongest craft union, so fracturing union control of craft processes. Cronin demonstrates that employers, dominated by economic short-termism, extended their hegemony beyond the boundaries of the factory gates. Their reluctance to endorse and sponsor technical education radically influenced the perception of technical education held by government and local authorities.
