✦ Synopsis

Recent Publications but disagree with their view that these tragedies are the result of immorality and human failure. A sociological view finds causes lying in the conjunction of the acceptance of drinking as a fundamental aspect of leisure with the nearly total dependence of American society on private automobile transportation.

Unfortunately, Life and Death at Work is written in a difficult and ponderous style, typical of the intellectual progeny of Max Weber. Reading this book is not likely to be a great pleasure for most people, but it should be a duty for policy makers and their advisors in the area of accidents and other social problems.
