Labor and Internationalism offers a comprehensive historical analysis of the international labor movement from its origins through the early twentieth century. Written by Lewis L. Lorwin, a prominent economist and historian, the work examines the development of global worker organizations and the ideological shifts that shaped their trajectories. The book explores the complex relationship between national interests and the ideals of international solidarity, tracing the rise of trade unions, socialist movements, and international labor federations.

Through detailed accounts of major conferences, policy shifts, and internal conflicts, Lorwin provides insight into how labor leaders sought to address the challenges of industrialization and capitalism on a global scale. The narrative covers the impact of World War I on labor internationalism and the subsequent restructuring of international labor bodies in the post-war era. Labor and Internationalism remains a foundational text for understanding the political and economic forces that drove workers across borders to seek common ground. It serves as an essential resource for scholars of economic history, political science, and the history of social movements, highlighting the enduring struggle for labor rights in an increasingly interconnected world.
