I am reading Burawoy. What he is good at is comparing his industrial
experiences at Allied plant and in Hungary (whats the name of that
metal works plant he works at). I just read about his attempt to file
a work grievance at a soviet-style trade union.

He is good at journalist-like narration, but he should not try big
generalizations and he should certainly leave class analysis alone.
He should have just wrote ethnographic study rather than trying to do
a "theory" book.  It is however interesting to think about the inner
workings of the soviet-style factory and an economy in general.

He concludes the book by saying that socialism is the future of all
mankind.  How quaint.
