Christian Socialism: Learned and Applied in Toledo, OH, June 2, 2000
This review is from: Holy Toledo: Religion and Politics in the Life of "Golden Rule" Jones (Hardcover)
This book provides a strong background into the man that ran his life, company and a city by the "Golden Rule". In a time when big business ruled and exploited the American worker with slave wages and no protection, "Golden Rule" Jones reshaped and redefined our ideas of the workplace and in doing so challenged a whole generation of reformers. Marnie provides a very well documented book on "Golden Rule" Jones with a heavy emphasis on his personal and professional struggles throughout his life. It provides a great insight into Sam's pre-success years in OH and PA when he had "Oil on the Brain". A must read for any Human Resource or CEO's in learning how to treat their employees with respect, fair wages and good benefits. This book would also be a great asset for any students of religion, sociology, American studies, urban policies and, or history majors. This book will transform you, and you will be transformed by the ideas of S.M. Jone!
