what is the effect of capitalism on house hold industry in GB Shows essay.
Answers
Answer:The rise of industrial capitalism throughout the nineteenth century went hand in hand with the rise of strikes and other forms of labor protests. By the end of the century most industrialized countries were collecting systematic strike data. No doubt the relevance of the issue—at the heart of capitalist social relations—and the ready availability of data led to a burgeoning academic literature. What do we know? Basically, that the temporal pattern of strikes follows the business cycle: the higher the level of unemployment, the lower the number of strikes. More generally, one thing is clear: strikes are cyclical with long up-and-down swings (with the down swings typically leading to predictions of the ‘withering away of strikes’). Strikes are also linked to organization: the better organized workers are (e.g., through trade unions), the more likely they are to call on strike a larger number of workers and to be successful in their demands. Finally, strikes are linked to the political position of labor: strikes have gone down wherever and whenever labor-oriented parties acquired a stable and durable control over the government within Western democracies. But what about the future? Has the nature of strikes fundamentally changed with the shift from manufacturing to services? The evidence does show some distinctive features of service-sector strikes. Whether strikes are a thing of the past, the future will tell.
