The Racketeer's Progress: Chicago and the Struggle for the Modern American Economy, 1900-1940
ISBN: 9780521124508 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A provocative study of law and its social context, this work explores the contingent origins of the modern American economy. It shows how craftsmen - teamsters, barbers, musicians, and others - violently governed commerce in Chicago through pickets, assaults, and bombings. These tradesmen forcefully contested the power of national corporations in their city. Their resistance shaped American law, heavily influencing the New Deal and federal criminal statutes. This book thus shows that American industrial policy resulted not from a "search for order," but from a brutal struggle for control.

ISBN: 9780393065336 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the frigid winter of 1875, Charles L. Lawrence made international headlines when he was arrested for smuggling silk worth $60 million into the United States. An intimate of Boss Tweed, gloriously dubbed "The Prince of Smugglers," and the head of a network spanning four continents and lasting half a decade, Lawrence scandalized a nation whose founders themselves had once dabbled in contraband.
