Episode 27: New Boss, Same As The Old Boss




Making of a Historian show

Summary: In this episode, I try to sum up changes in work and class over the 18th and 19th century. Everything changes. But these changes are different everywhere. Don't just think of women slaving away in factories, think of women slaving away at home over sewing machines. And don't just think of the rise of the working class, think of a confusion about who belongs where, about how society is ordered, about what exactly it is that makes a community.
