Introduction to the First Edition
Abstract
For the modern American intellectual—from television screenwriter to university professor—workers often serve as objects for the creation of myths. Fears, hopes, and pities are projected onto workers, and embodied in stereotypes that reflect more the personalities of the myth-makers than the realities of workers.
