More about the book

Tracing the National Association of Manufacturers' (NAM) evolution from its 1895 founding, the narrative explores its pivotal role in shaping modern capitalism and the U.S. economy. Jennifer Delton reveals the organization's dual nature: while it fiercely opposed unions and championed corporate interests, it also promoted progressive initiatives like safety standards and affirmative action. The book examines NAM's impact on American industry, highlighting its contributions to economic growth and the paradox of its role in the decline of manufacturing jobs by the late twentieth century.
