The Industrial Army is a book written by Fayette Stratton Giles that explores the concept of industrial armies and their potential impact on society. The book discusses the idea that large corporations and businesses could create their own armies of workers, who would be trained and equipped to carry out tasks that were essential to the success of the company. The author argues that the creation of industrial armies could lead to a number of benefits, including increased efficiency, improved productivity, and greater economic stability. However, he also acknowledges that there are potential risks associated with this approach, including the potential for abuse of power by employers and the potential for workers to become overly dependent on their employers. Throughout the book, Giles draws on historical examples of industrial armies, including the use of convict labor in the American South and the use of Chinese laborers in the construction of the transcontinental railroad. He also explores the role that industrial armies could play in modern society, particularly in the context of the growing gig economy and the increasing automation of many jobs. Overall, The Industrial Army provides a thought-provoking look at a controversial topic and raises important questions about the future of work and the role of corporations in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
