The Common Interest Of Labor And Capital

By Andrew Carnegie

Book Overview

The Common Interest of Labor and Capital is a book written by Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist, in 1890. The book is a detailed analysis of the relationship between labor and capital and how they can work together for the benefit of both parties. Carnegie argues that the interests of labor and capital are not mutually exclusive, and that both can benefit from cooperation and collaboration.The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the history of labor and capital and their relationship throughout the ages. The second part examines the current state of labor and capital in America and Europe, and the challenges they face. The third part proposes a solution to the problem of labor and capital, which involves the creation of a new social order based on cooperation and mutual benefit.Carnegie argues that labor and capital are not enemies, but rather partners in the production process. He suggests that the best way to promote the common interest of both parties is through profit-sharing and employee ownership. He also advocates for the establishment of a system of arbitration to resolve disputes between labor and capital.The Common Interest of Labor and Capital is a seminal work in the field of labor relations and economics. It offers a unique perspective on the relationship between labor and capital and proposes practical solutions for promoting their common interests. The book remains relevant today, as the issues it addresses continue to be a major concern for workers and employers alike.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Empire of Business, by Andrew Carnegie.
