Presents a reappraisal of the causes and consequences of a movement that ultimately transformed the nature of social insurance and the American workplace. This book argues that workers' compensation, rather than being an early progressive victory, succeeded because all relevant parties - labor, lawyers, and legislators - benefited from the ruling.
