Workers and the ‘Golden Age’ of Social Democracy?

What was special for workers about the post-war boom era, the so-called ‘Golden Age’ of Social Democracy? How did American labor and liberal politics fit into a larger pattern common to the Western world? What were the limits—and unfulfilled possibilities—of that era? This special issue on Labor and Social Democracy addresses these questions with six original essays focused on the U.S., European, and Latin American contexts.
