New Tactics in Social Conflict

"New Tactics in Social Conflict" is a significant collection of perspectives edited by Harry W. Laidler and Norman Thomas, examining the evolving landscape of industrial and social relations in the early 20th century. This work captures the intellectual rigor of the League for Industrial Democracy, bringing together contributions from leading thinkers to address the shifts in labor-capital dynamics following the first World War. The text explores innovative strategies for social change, ranging from the development of company unions and employee stock ownership to the growth of labor banking and the role of the cooperative movement.

By analyzing the changing methods of social conflict, the contributors provide a deep dive into the struggle for economic democracy and the challenges facing the socialist movement in a period of rapid industrial transformation. The volume remains a vital historical resource for understanding the roots of modern labor theory and the persistent efforts to reform economic systems for the common good. It offers a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and practical approaches used to navigate the complexities of power, property, and class in a democratic society.
