Riassunto

This book examines the hidden history of labor strikes and battles through the ages, from antiquity to the Industrial Revolution. The author argues that these conflicts have often been overlooked or minimized in accounts of labor history, but they have played a crucial role in shaping the conditions of work and the lives of working people. The book draws on a wide range of sources to document these struggles, including archaeological evidence, historical texts, and oral traditions. The author shows that labor strikes have been a feature of human society for millennia, and that they have often been met with violence and repression. However, they have also been instrumental in winning important concessions for workers, such as higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to organize. This book sheds new light on the history of labor and capitalism, and it offers a fresh perspective on the struggles that have shaped our world. The author's insights are essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the origins of the modern labor movement and the challenges facing workers today.
