Book excerpt: In 'Plane and Plank; or, The Mishaps of a Mechanic' by Oliver Optic, the reader is transported into the world of a young mechanic, exploring the challenges and adventures he encounters while pursuing his trade.

His background as a teacher and minister influenced his writing, as he aimed to provide entertaining yet educational stories for young readers. Optic's attention to detail and moral themes in his work set him apart as a beloved author of his time.

Download or read book The Work Ethic in Industrial America 1850 1920 written by Daniel T. Rodgers and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the rise of machines changed the way we think about work—and about success. The phrase “a strong work ethic” conjures images of hard-driving employees working diligently for long hours. But where did this ideal come from, and how has it been buffeted by changes in work itself? While seemingly rooted in America’s Puritan heritage, perceptions of work ethic have actually undergone multiple transformations over the centuries. And few eras saw a more radical shift than the American industrial age. Daniel T. Rodgers masterfully explores the ways in which the eclipse of small-scale workshops by mechanized production and mass consumption triggered far-reaching shifts in perceptions of labor, leisure, and personal success. He also shows how the new work culture permeated society, including literature, politics, the emerging feminist movement, and the labor movement. A staple of courses in the history of American labor and industrial society, Rodgers’s sharp analysis is as relevant as ever as twenty-first-century workers face another shift brought about by technology. The Work Ethic in Industrial America 1850–1920 is a classic with critical relevance in today’s volatile economic times.
