In the 1910s, U.S. states enacted workers' compensation laws, which required employers to pay a portion of the financial costs of workplace injuries. This book uses a range of archival materials, interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives, and compelling narration to criticize the shortcomings of these laws. While compensation laws were a limited improvement in economic terms for employees, this book argues that these laws created new forms of inequality, by causing people with disabilities to lose their jobs, as well as new forms of inhumanity, by treating deeply personal suffering losses in an impersonal and economic manner. Ultimately the book raises questions about law and class, and about when and whether our economy and our legal system produce justice or injustice"-- Geschichte 1890-1920 gnd 1900-1999 fast Arbeitsschutzrecht (DE-588)4112578-2 gnd Arbeitsunfall (DE-588)4002794-6 gnd Industrial accidents Law and legislation Social aspects United States History 20th century Workers' compensation Law and legislation Social aspects United States History 20th century USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd United States fast Hochschulschrift gnd-content Electronic books History fast BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED 19.09.2020 nebis DS UHS-202006 nebis EN IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH ni 34974 NELA1002006 IDSBB 100 1- Holdren Nate 1978- (DE-588)1210866072 Verfasser aut IDSBB 490 0- Cambridge historical studies in American law and society NEBIS 100 1- Holdren Nate 1978- (DE-588)1210866072 Verfasser aut NEBIS 490 0- Cambridge historical studies in American law and society IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/007187152/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 588930091
