Notes
Senior lecturer in Sociology, London School of Economics and Political Science. I have been greatly helped in work on this paper by discussions with John Hughes (Principal of Ruskin College, Oxford) and Gerhard Leminsky (editor‐in‐chief of Gewerkschaftliche Monatshefte), though neither has seen a draft of it or is in any way responsible for any of the views expressed. I am grateful to the Nuffield Foundation for granting me a temporary research fellowship which enabled me to work on the larger project of which this article is a preliminary product.
