The Steelworkers' Retirement Security System investigates how labor politics sustained rust belt jobs through the 1990s by creating interdependent financial commitment involving pensions and company investments. The book then goes on to adapt these commitments for the post-industrial economy to strengthen workers retirement security and sustain community investment.

"The book is arranged into sections by place, in order to best describe Devlin's life and diplomatic career: Paris, Dublin, Washington, London and Rome. Devlin's 1930s letters show his efforts to enter and energise literary society in Dublin, his subsequent disillusionment with the state of the arts in a newly independent Ireland, his struggle to find employment, and his wavering between academia and a career as a diplomat. The letters to Thomas MacGreevy, in particular, are replete with critical reflections on Devlin's own work and the poetry of his time. In wartime Washington Devlin forms lasting friendships with the most influential American poet-critics of the time, Allen Tate and Robert Penn Warren, and begins work on translations from the poems of exiled French poet-diplomat Alexis Leger, a project partly conducted through correspondence. In his final decade in Rome international poetry networks are cultivated, notably that surrounding Princess Marguerite Caetani and her magazine Botteghe Oscure. These letters reveal the pleasures and insecurities of diplomatic life, and the difficulties in conducting an active creative life in tandem. Following Devlin's death in 1959, the edition concludes with a "coda" of letters from his wife Caren concerning the foundation of the Denis Devlin Memorial Award"--

In the 1890s the Apollo Iron and Steel Company ended a bitterly contested labor dispute by hiring replacement workers from the surrounding countryside. To avoid future unrest, however, the company sought to gain tighter control over its workers not only at the factory but also in their homes. Drawing upon a philosophy of reform movements in Europe and the United States, the firm decided that providing workers with good housing and a good urban environment would make them more loyal and productive. In 1895, Apollo Iron and Steel built a new, integrated, non-unionized steelworks and hired the nation's preeminent landscape architectural firm (Olmsted, Olmsted, and Eliot) to design the model industrial town: Vandergrift.In Capital's Utopia: Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, 1855-1916, Anne E. Mosher offers the first comprehensive geographical overview of the industrial restructuring of an American steelworks and its workforce in the late nineteenth–century. In addition, by offering a thorough analysis of the Olmsted plan, Mosher integrates historical geography and labor history with landscape architectural history and urban studies. As a result, this book is far more than a case study. It is a window into an important period of industrial development and its consequences on communities and environments in the world-famous steel country of southwestern Pennsylvania.
