Description

"Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World" (W.W. Norton & Company), written by Joshua B. Freeman, is a non-fiction work that provides readers with a novel, cogent and accessible overview of how the modern factory system developed. Freeman, a professor of history at CUNY-Queens College, claims that large factories impact almost everything that we touch, see and experience, and underpin the modern consumer economy. This session will provide the audience with a critical review of Freeman's book, with a focus on the positive and negative consequences of the factory system on owners, workers, consumers and society as a whole. A global perspective on this topic will be adopted and connections to current research in the fields of management and organizational psychology will be made.
