This detailed new study--the first academic monograph on the history of British employers' organizations--develops a much-neglected theme in social history. Using previously untapped primary sources, Organised Capital explores these institutions from a regional, comparative perspective, analyzing their growth and activities during their heyday, and challenging current interpretations of employers' groups. Arthur McIvor's study will be of interest both to historians and to students of industrial relations.
