The Booth

Being Right or Making Money

“Are Americans workaholics or industrious?  Is work fulfilling or does it drive us crazy?  When does a ‘right to work’ become a ‘need to work’?  It takes a master historian like Peter Stearns to successfully take us across two centuries and three continents for answers.  Every student—and a lot of us who are already in the work force and wonder why we don't have us much vacation time as Europeans—needs to read and think about this nuanced and often surprising account of changing work patterns and attitudes.”
—Daniel Walkowitz, New York University, author of Working with Class: Social Workers and the Politics of Middle-Class Identity

“The book has all the features one anticipates from a work by Peter Stearns—lucid synthesis, acute judgments, and an exceptionally broad coverage of space and time.”
—Daniel T. Rodgers, Princeton University, author of The Work Ethic in Industrial America, 1850-1920

“With crystalline prose and a touch of wry humor, Stearns dispatches with a monumental task; he is the first to look back on the history of industrial work from its pre-modern beginnings through the lens of present-day concerns with overwork, immigration, technological redundancy, as well as the peculiarities of American workplace complaints.”
—Leon Fink, University of Illinois–Chicago, author of In Search of the Working Class: Essays in American Labor History and Political Culture
