The article discusses the book Which Side Are You On?: Trying to Be for Labor When It's Flat on Its Back, by Thomas Geoghegan. "The history I want to tell starts with the 1930's," Thomas Geoghegan announces in an early chapter of Which Side Are You On?, a book that goes straight to the heart of organized labor. According to Keynesian theory, the unionization of industrial corporations would increase the purchasing power of millions of workers by raising their wages, thus stimulating the free-falling economy. Which Side Are You On?, is actually a long essay. Its paramount subject is the condition of labor unions in the United States.
