Why are unions weaker in the US than they are in Canada, despite the countries' many similarities?

Recenzje

'Spanning nearly a century, Eidlin's book represents the sort of ambitious cross-national comparative historical analysis that has fallen out of favor in political science yet that can offer rich theoretical insights and fresh descriptive facts that can be mined for scores of future studies.' Alexander Hertel-Fernandez, The Journal of Politics
