Why is the United States the only advanced capitalist country with no labor
party? This question is one of the great enduring puzzles of American
political development, and it lies at the heart of a fundamental debate
about the nature of American society. Tackling this debate head-on, Robin
Archer puts forward a new explanation for why there is no American labor
party-an explanation that suggests that much of the conventional wisdom
about American exceptionalism is untenable. Conventional explanations rely
on comparison with Europe. Archer challenges these explanations by
comparing the United States with its most similar New World
counterpart-Australia. This comparison is particularly revealing, not only
because the United States and Australia share many fundamental historical,
political, and social characteristics, but also because Australian unions
established a labor party in the late nineteenth century, just when
American unions, against a common backdrop of industrial defeat and
depression, came closest to doing something similar. Archer examines each
of the factors that could help explain the American outcome, and his
systematic comparison yields unexpected conclusions. He argues that
prosperity, democracy, liberalism, and racial hostility often promoted the
very changes they are said to have obstructed. And he shows that it was not
these characteristics that left the United States without a labor party,
but, rather, the powerful impact of repression, religion, and political
sectarianism.
