Contraband: Smuggling and the Birth of the American Century
ISBN: 9780393065336 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the frigid winter of 1875, Charles L.

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. 16-18 dni roboczych.

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.
