America searched for an answer to "The Labor Question" during the Progressive Era in an effort to avoid the unrest and violence that flared so often in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. In the ladies' garment industry, a unique experiment in industrial democracy brought together labor, management, and the public. As Richard Greenwald explains, it was an attempt to "square free market capitalism with ideals of democracy to provide a fair and just workplace." Led by Louis Brandeis, this group negotiated the "Protocols of Peace." But in the midst of this experiment, 146 mostly young, immigrant women died in the Triangle Factory Fire of 1911. As a result of the fire, a second, interrelated experiment, New York's Factory Investigating Commission (FIC)—led by Robert Wagner and Al Smith—created one of the largest reform successes of the period. The Triangle Fire, the Protocols of Peace, and Industrial Democracy in Progressive Era New York uses these linked episodes to show the increasing interdependence of labor, industry, and the state. Greenwald explains how the Protocols and the FIC best illustrate the transformation of industrial democracy and the struggle for political and economic justice.

First published in 1927, Hobson’s treatise on industrial conflict analyses the nature and causes of industrial disputes with the aim of finding an equitable means of settling them. Assessing the notion of a fair wage within the context of the pool of wealth, Hobson sets about creating a peace policy for industry. Set against the backdrop of economic downturn and struggle in the interwar years, in the years preceding the great depression, this is work of social, historical and economic interest.

The economic development of a country is largely dependent upon the industrial growth and development. It is in this context that industrial peace acquires significance. Disturbed and non-conducive industrial environment proportionately affects the industrial growth adversely. And; therefore; the relationship obtainable in any industry is a matter of great concern. Industrial environment is the outcome of the interaction among the actors of industrial relations. In this context; trade union leaders become a very significant actor as the activities of their followers which build the industrial environment is the outcome of their actions. Industrial peace has to be established by all means and that is the need of the hour. This cannot be achieved without positive and constructive role of the trade union leaders. Trade union leaders have been viewed by authors as agents of adversarialism and it has been pronounced that they cannot imagine themselves making common cause with capital or even recognise that they have shared interest. Such impressions have been perceived by assessing the actions of their followers i.e. the workers. It is also argued that the leaders are not at all sensitive about their social responsibilities. The actions of workers or the followers of trade union leaders are directly proportional to the faith and confidence the followers have in their leaders. It is; therefore; very apt to assess and gauge the impression carried by the followers about their leaders. In the present scenario it is desirable that the leaders and their followers understand each other and their mutual relationship is harmonized to the maximum extent. A leader must have the capability to get himself acquainted with the developments taking place and communicate and direct his followers accordingly. The followers desire that their leader should rise from the level of fairly good to the level of exceptionally good. This maiden attempt of the author; Dr. Bhim Singh automatically gains significance and importance as he has been able to correlate the followers perceptions about leadership qualities desired by the followers and its linkage with creation of industrial peace.

Joblessness is the root cause of the global unrest threatening American security. Fostering entrepreneurship is the remedy. The combined weight of American diplomacy and military power cannot end unrest and extremism in the Middle East and other troubled regions of the world, Steven Koltai argues. Koltai says an alternative approach would work: investing in entrepreneurship and reaping the benefits of the jobs created through entrepreneurial startups. From 9/11 and the Arab Spring to the self-proclaimed Islamic caliphate, instability and terror breed where young people cannot find jobs. Koltai marshals evidence to show that joblessness—not religious or cultural conflict—is the root cause of the unrest that vexes American foreign policy and threatens international security. Drawing on Koltai’s stint as senior adviser for Entrepreneurship in Secretary Hillary Clinton’s State Department, and his thirty-year career as a successful entrepreneur and business executive, Peace through Entrepreneurship argues for the significant elevation of entrepreneurship in the service of foreign policy; not rural microfinance or mercantile trading but the scalable stuff of Silicon Valley and Sam Walton, generating the vast majority of new jobs in economies large and small. Peace through Entrepreneurship offers a nonmilitary, long-term solution at a time of disillusionment with Washington’s “big development” approach to unstable and underdeveloped parts of the world—and when the new normal is fear of terrorist attacks against Western targets, beheadings in Syria, and jihad. Extremism will not be resolved by a war on terror. The answer, Koltai shows, is stimulating entrepreneurial economic opportunities for the virtually limitless supply of desperate, unemployed young men and women leading lives of endless economic frustration.
