Labor And The League Of Nations (1919)

By Scott Nearing

Book Overview

Labor and the League of Nations is a book written by Scott Nearing in 1919, which explores the role of labor in the newly-formed League of Nations. The League of Nations was created after World War I to promote international cooperation and prevent future wars. Nearing argues that labor should play a significant role in the League, as it is the backbone of society and the driving force behind economic and social progress. The book provides a historical overview of the labor movement, including its struggles and achievements, as well as its role in the war effort. Nearing also examines the structure and function of the League of Nations and its potential impact on labor rights and working conditions. Throughout the book, Nearing advocates for the inclusion of labor representatives in the League's decision-making process and for the recognition of labor rights as fundamental human rights. He argues that the League must prioritize the well-being of workers and their families in order to achieve its goal of promoting peace and prosperity. Overall, Labor and the League of Nations is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the relationship between labor and international governance in the aftermath of World War I. It provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by workers and their advocates during a time of great change and uncertainty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
