1. Book Review: Shredding Paper: The Rise and Fall of Maine's Mighty Paper Industry , by Michael G. Hillard.

Author

Newton, Jason L.

Subjects
PAPER industry, HISTORY of capitalism, SOCIAL unrest, NATURAL resources, RAILROAD tracks, ELECTRONIC books
Abstract

Hillard proposes that, from the perspective of workers' "folk political economy" (p. 4), which he deduces largely from oral histories, there were "good and bad capitalisms" (p. 212). Hillard's schema of good and bad capitalisms is a useful conceptualization and ideal for teaching, but at least one other important layer of analysis could be included here to give a fuller account of capitalism's change over time. Between 1908 and 1912 there were a number of these worker actions in Maine's paper industry, led by the International Brotherhood of Paper Makers and the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers.
