Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique : "Hiver 1979. L'Angleterre travailliste est paralysée par des grèves massives. L'électricité est souvent coupée, les corps s'entassent dans les morgues, le chaos s'installe. Le 3 mai 1979, Margaret Thatcher est élue avec un vigoureux programme conservateur et libéral. Onze ans plus tard, en novembre 1990, elle est renversée par son propre parti. Son gouvernement aura été le plus long du XXe siècle. Entre ces deux dates, le Royaume-Uni est bouleversé : syndicats réduits au silence, contrôle des changes aboli, économie privatisée, vieilles industries dévastées, croissance des services. A l'étranger, que ce soit aux Malouines, en Europe, ou dans le monde, l'Union Jack a retrouvé ses couleurs. Partout la " Dame de fer " fait entendre sa voix. Cette biographie, la première publiée en France depuis 1991, met en lumière une réforme qui aurait semblé impensable en 1979, mais aussi une vie qui ressemble à un roman. Fille d'un petit épicier de Grantham, Lady Thatcher finit à la Chambre des Lords comblée d'honneurs. Tel est l'objet de ce livre : rendre compte d'un destin, d'un projet et d'une politique avec ses succès et ses échecs. Bref, rendre compte d'une personnalité contestée et contestable, mais essentielle, et qui ne cesse de hanter notre époque."

Abstract

This book presents a fundamental reassessment of the nature of wage labor in the nineteenth century, focusing on the common use of penal sanctions in England to enforce wage labor agreements. Professor Steinfeld argues that wage workers were not employees at will but were often bound to their employment by enforceable labor agreements, which employers used whenever available to manage their labor costs and supply. In the northern United States, where employers normally could not use penal sanctions, the common law made other contract remedies available, also placing employers in a position to enforce labor agreements. Modern free wage labor only came into being late in the nineteenth century, as a result of reform legislation that restricted the contract remedies employers could legally use.

Abstract

"Charity" is a word that fits well in the history of religion and churches, whereas the concept of social reform seems to belong more to the vocabulary of the modern welfare states. Christian charity found itself, during the long nineteenth century, within the maelstrom of social turmoil. In this context of social unrest, although charity managed to confirm its relevance, it was also subjected to fierce criticism, as well as to substitute state-run forms of social care and insurance. The history of the welfare states remained all too blind to religion. This book unravels how the churches in Britain and Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium shaped and adjusted their understanding of poverty. It reveals how they struggled with the "social question" and often also with the modern nation-states to which they belonged. Either in the periphery of public assistance or in a dynamic interplay with the state, political parties and society at large, the churches reinvented their tradition as providers of social relief.
