Sumario:The writer highlights the importance of Harry Braverman's Labor and Monopoly Capital. In the context of Braverman's writings, he discusses how capital can be overthrown through class struggle and upon what sort of analytical foundation it should be waged. He analyzes Braverman's argument that the labor market and all markets conceal the true nature of the capitalistic mode of production. He argues that Braverman's book should catalyze struggles such as the need to fight for a shorter working day; the reexamination of no-strike and management rights clauses in workers' agreements; the importance of worker education; and the need for a complete reorientation of labor politics.
