This seminal work in political economy, Labor And Monopoly Capital: The Degradation Of Work In The Twentieth Century, critically examines the transformation of the labor process under advanced capitalism. It argues that the scientific management principles and technological advancements of the twentieth century systematically stripped workers of their skills and autonomy, leading to a profound degradation of work. The text chronicles the historical development of these processes, presenting a compelling analysis of how capital reorganizes production to assert control over labor. Braverman uncovers the mechanisms by which intellectual and manual labor became increasingly separated, illustrating the social and economic consequences for the working class. This influential study remains a cornerstone for understanding the dynamics of work and power in modern industrial societies.
