"This is the first book-length study of institutional change in mid-nineteeth-century New York and efforts by the business community to control their work force. In its concern with social and institutional instability in the Jacksonian period, it is an important part of a growing literature. The concern here is primarily with the merchant response to two groups - the immigrant poor and the native young men who began to flock to New York in this period." $25.00USD
