Tom Kruse, >Any suggestions on a good introduction to Taylor and Taylorism? Chris Nyland: _Reduced worktime and the management of production_ Harry Braverman: _Labor and Monopoly Capital_ That will give you the two extremes of Marxist views for (Nyland) and against (Braverman) Taylor. There was a thick biography of Taylor out a year or so ago called _The One Best Way_ that looks interesting. regards, Tom Walker http://www.vcn.bc.ca/timework/covenant.htm
