Abstract

Graeme Cotter investigated a history of the recurrent conflict between capital and labour. In a study of the mining industry he found that in the 21st-century capitalists are sidestepping this conflict by an increasing focus on technology-labour substitution which is threatening a future society without work for many who want it.
