Excellent for people trying to understand Argentina's economy.......2006-02-12

I found this book to provide a good insight to Argentina's history and recent economic performance while learning basic economics. Some chapters are a bit dry, but getting to the end is worth it.

Book Description

The largest maker of heavy machinery in Gilded Age America and an important global exporter, the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia achieved renown as one of the nation's most successful and important firms. Relying on gifted designers and skilled craftsmen, Baldwin built thousands of standard and custom steam locomotives, ranging from narrow gauge 0-4-0 industrial engines to huge mallet compounds. John K. Brown analyzes the structure of railroad demand; the forces driving continual innovation in locomotive design; Baldwin's management systems, shop-floor skills, and career paths; and the evolution of production methods.

Comprehensive hsitory of Industrial Practice.......2005-05-02

This is not a typical history of a locomotive builder. Many of us, and I confess that includes myself, are fascinated by steam engines, their design and operation. They seem to signify a simpler time. However, what they really are is an artifact of the industrialization of the western world. In their day, these locomotives represented the largest, most complicated pieces of machinery on land. This book was advertised as being a study in the organization of the COMPANY that built these machines: not of the machines themselves. I found Brown's book to be exactly what was advertised: a study of a 19th century leading industrial concern. I found the research thorough and the points well-reasoned.

There are many interesting facts to be gleaned: how Baldwin really was a mass-customization producer well before anyone understood the concept. How the railroads, not the company, literally dictated the trends in locomotive design. That the locomotive industry was subject to severe cyclical buying patterns. And finally, that Baldwin enjoyed a stretch of over 50 years of labor relations completely unblemished by strikes or worker actions.

If you are looking for a history of Baldwin steam locomotives, their design and use, this is NOT the book for you. If you are looking to learn more about the business practices of one of the largest American large-equipment builders of the 1800, the markets in which the firm existed, labor relations and more, then this is a must buy.

Complete and Thorough Study.......2004-03-25

This reader did not see any blurb about the author on this edition, but the author shows a strong bent for letting the historical research speak for itself and obviously knowledgble about current trends in manufacturing. It is an amazingly thorough book . Some readers may find lessons here, some just a litany of facts.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works was the dominant Locomotive manufacturer and capital equipment maker in the U.S. during the Gilded Age. The company's experiences are still the experiences of today's manufacturing firms, especially the heavy equipment manufacturers. The company began in the 1830's and closed its doors for good in 1956. In the decades close to the 1900's it was the dominant locomotive and heavy equipment maker in the country. The author brings forth the following
themes and issues this company dealt with are still very current with manufacturer today
1)balancing skilled and unskilled labor, running an apprentice program
2)concentrating on manger-producers, the company scorned professional or middle
managent to the point where foreman did the hiring for their departments.
3) Labor strife was mostly non-existent for decades, the company's stated position was
to make the company's goal the workers goal also.
4) factory floor production control relied on a card and list tickler system to expedite job orders
5) Located in the industrial down town of Philadelphia, it had a cadre of local close-knit
suppliers
6) To spur productivity the company introduced piecework and often a group of workers would band behind a foreman to act as in-house contractors. The workers would strive to perform the necessary cost cutting to produce a set number of parts for a set price and if successful the profits from the savings would be split among the contracting group.
7) A strong "not invented here culture" caused it to disdain efficiency work studies
requiring professional middle management.
8) The impact of the paradigm shift from steam to diesel locomotive power.

The Baldwin locomotive company also bridged the era of the introduction of gas and then electric lights, it boosted productivity as the same assets, buildings and equipemnt could now produce 24 hours a day. In 1906 the company produced 2,666 locomotives, In the era around World War I the inevitable decline started. It was a partnership company in world of corporations with their professional management. Baldwin had a historically low profit margin making customer designed products. The custom designing took an army of draftsmen,and skilled labor at assembly. The final nail in the coffin was General Motors entry into the market. With a corporate structure, and years of experince in the American System of Manufacturing (mass production), GM lured the railroads over to standard design diesel locomotives from Baldwin's custom built steam engines on price alone. Baldwin's low profit margins prevented it from entering the Diesel market and effectively competing. Instead the company went the way of the steam locomotive and closed in 1956.
My hat is off to this author, he not only touched upon every issue, he excelled at the explanations. The style of using subchapters with titles reinforces the organization of the information brought forth. This is not a book for everybody, but most people involved in manufactuirng or management will find something of interest. Still the book is geared for the researcher. A little explanation of locomotive design terminology would have been helpful.

Great study of nineteenth century business.......2002-10-31

In eight weeks, thousands of workers at the Baldwin Works of Philadelphia would take a custom design from drawings to finished product. By 1905, more than seven engines rolled out of the plant every day. How this was done is the subject of this very interesting book. Baldwin was the premier locomotive manufacturer and ranked at the top of American industry for sixty years. Ironically, the major strength of the Baldwin company, the ability to build custom products efficiently to the customer's specific demands, was to prove a major weakness as the economy changed to a more consumer-driven environment where "standardized products, hierarchical managerial structures, and market control strategies dominated." Builders could not compete with manufacturers who mass-produced standard designs.

Matthias Baldwin began as a jewel smith in Philadelphia, but he was enamored of technology and soon built a small engine. More than a toy, it powered his first shop for forty years and now resides in the Smithsonian. Philadelphia, home of the Franklin Institute, which supported new inventions and technology, was also the home of numerous machine shops, and soon Baldwin had created a shop where he began to design ever better steam engines for railroads. He invented the Jervis leading truck, a pair of wheels that moved along as the track curved, reducing the number of derailments. His flexible-beam design became very popular because it had more driving wheels and with the weight of the engine over the drivers it could pull longer and heavier freight trains. By 1846, his shop made forty-two types of engines, he had paid off all his debts, and he had survived the panic of 1837, a severe market reversal. He had also bought out his early partners, making him the sole owner of the company.

You really have to be a locomotive or railroad buff to enjoy this book (isn't everybody?), but there is also a great deal about capitalism and market conditions in the nineteenth century. The Baldwin Works managed productivity increases on an average of 3.1% per year, as compared with 1.9% nationally, and it accomplished this through organizational and technical changes. By 1906, Baldwin was producing a locomotive every three hours, twenty-four hours a day. Baldwin minimized the risk inherent in the system by engaging in industry-wide price-fixing agreements, and he relied on "just-in-time" inventory supplies to reduce the need for substantial working capital. He drew a great deal of technical expertise from his customers, the railroads. The author suggests that Baldwin's success came also because of his reliance on a core of skilled workers rather than on trying to improve profits by manipulating workers and exploiting them.

That Baldwin rapidly lost ground to the diesel-electric engine may suggest that individual leadership tied to an entrenched way of operation might be a disadvantage in the long run.

A little lacking.......2000-12-08

I am interested in the nuts and bolts, brick and mortar part of the railroad industry. This book dealt too much with financial institutions and political connections for me. I could care less about the problems management had with workers, or if a union wanted to organize, or if they were having money problems. I wanted more photos, with views of the erecting floors and machine shops, things of that nature. Not enough topics concerning the actual construction process.

If you like trains and manufacturing.......1999-12-14

If you like trains and how they were manufactured or if you have a passing interest in how large scale capital items were manufactured. This book is for you. I was just curious since I am a Baldwin. I enjoyed it.

Book Description

In this important book, Ulrich Beck - one of the leading social thinkers in Europe today - examines how work has become unstable in the modern world and presents a new vision for the future. Beck begins by describing how the traditional work society, with its life-long job paths, is giving way to a much less stable world in which skills can be suddenly devalued, jobs obliterated, welfare cover reduced or eliminated. The West would appear to be heading towards a social structure of ambiguity and multiple activity that has hitherto been more characteristic of the developing world. But what appears to be the end of traditional working practices can also be seen as an opportunity to develop new ideas and models for work in the twenty-first century.Beck's alternative vision is centred on the concept of active citizens democratically organized in local, and increasingly also regional or transnational, networks. Against the threat of social exclusion, everyone can and must have a right to be included in a new definition and distribution of work. This will involve constant movement between formal employment (with a major reduction in working hours) and forms of self-organized artistic, cultural and political 'civil labour', providing equal access to comprehensive social protection. The aim must be to turn insecurity around, so that it becomes a positive and enriching discontinuity of life.Drawing on his earlier work on risk and reflexive modernization, The Brave New World of Work is also closely linked to his studies on globalization and individualization. These processes are part of the same challenge upon which a politics of modernity must now base itself. Not only the future of work, but also the very survival of democracy and the welfare state will depend on the development of a newly committed and 'multi-active' transnational citizenship.This book will be of great interest to second- and third-year students in sociology, politics, geography and the social sciences generally. It will also appeal to a broader audience interested in the issues and debates surrounding the changing nature of work.

Across the Great Divide.......2001-07-07

When he's good, he's great. Some passages in this book, especially those dealing with Beck's idea of a new civil society that must be forged out of the remains of the social welfare contract, are inspiring. When he's not so good, it's because he's repetitive, or because he's speaking so generally about the effects of the global economy that he veers into vague abstraction at the expense of driving his thesis home. Because it's a challenging thesis -- the idea of paid civil work as a way to (re)create a truly democratic society -- and because it's articulation is at least partially supported through data, it's easy to forgive the sometimes too-general perspective.

Read as a companion "The Global Age" by Martin Albrow, which is quoted in The Brave New World of Work, and interestingly, has the same strengths and weaknesses: an interestingly theory (we've moved past the post-modern age into the "global age" wherein the interconnectedness of humanity belies old national boundaries and notions of class), and a sometimes too abstract style.

Bobos in purgatory.......2000-10-13

As Beck observes in his chapter on the US, Americans and Europeans see the world very differently. If, like many Americans, you think that life in US is good and getting better you may have some trouble connecting with Beck's perspective.

Beck takes up John Gray's idea (from False Dawn) that America is in the grip of the religion of free market utopianism. Spreading the faith across the globe has become America's historic mission. But there's trouble in paradise. Productivity in the US is disturbingly low -- a tenth lower than Germany. There's rising income inequality as well. Wages for unskilled workers have fallen and, and despite increases in GDP, eight out of ten workers earn the same or less than they did twenty years ago. Middle class Americans also face a frightening lack of job security and must live without the kind of social safety net taken for granted in most developed nations.

On top of all this Beck says that Robert Putnam is right -- civil society is coming apart at the seams. Beck blames the decline on America's under-performing labor market. To maintain their standard of living the average unproductive American need to work two or more jobs. There's simply no time for voluntary work or democracy anymore.

Of course the US unemployment statistics seem to be far lower than Europe's but this is obviously an illusion. American governments hide their otherwise unemployed workers by building prisons. Quoting Jeremy Rifkin he explains that jail is an American's answer to the social safety net.

So, far from being a source of well-being and riches, the American free market (neo-liberal) path is "a program for the break-up of society." Neoliberalism is leading to the 'Brazilization' of work society. Secure full-time work is no longer the norm, it's being replaced by a patchwork of paid and unpaid activity. Beck concludes the book with some ideas on how Europe might respond positively to the sweeping changes taking place in the world of work.

While there are some interesting ideas here too much of the book is devoted to a fairly uncritical recitation of the conventional wisdom of the popular European intellectual left. Beck pieces together a lot of his story with quotes and ideas taken from other writers like Jeremy Rifkin, Andre Gorz and John Gray.

At Times Hopeful, At Times Critical, But Always Interesting and Informative.......2006-08-25

William Bausch has earned an esteemed fan base in Catholic circles for his writings. After reading some of his books, it's easy to see why. His writing style is comfortable, he's a firm believer in Catholic traditions as one should expect from a priest, yet he's also realistic about the current situation the Church is facing and what needs to be done as far as reform is concerned. Therefore in reading his pages one sees a belief in an empowered laity along side of the hierarchy. He sees the distinct role of the priest but also believes that ordination should be available for a wider group of people. He understands society today, but espouses the call of Vatican II to transform society. In short, he's very much like the majority of faithful Catholics clergy and lay who love the Church and know it's important to work for its survival.

BRAVE NEW CHURCH was published in late 2001 but received most of its acclaim in early 2002 when the sexual abuse scandal in Boston became national news. Since that time many books have been published that deal directly with the current issues facing the Church, including a volume by this author, but for many readers, Bausch's volume was the first available and one that offered great hope. The book begins by identifying twelve areas of challenge for the church. He looks at the secular society, the changing ways of some Catholics, the priest shortage, lack of catechesis, a distrust of institutions, and scandal overall (he includes sexual, financial, and misuse of trust). He then looks at the strengths of the Church and offers suggestions as to how the issues should be addressed. My guess is that some readers may not agree with all of his solutions, but what he has to say does have merit and is on solid Biblical, theological, and pastoral foundations.

I had thought of suggesting this book as a selection for our parish book club, but wondered about its relevancy. Even though many negative revelations have been unearthed since the book's release, it's not outdated. The issues the book addresses have not gone away, and it would make an excellent guide for a discussion group of where we are as Catholics today and where we want to be as a healthy, whole Church.
