解説
In Shredding Paper, Michael G. Hillard examines how Maine, once the nation's leader in paper production, saw its powerful industry decline. From the early twentieth century to the 1960s, Maine's paper mills shaped the state's economy and labor relations, but by the late twentieth century, shifting economic forces and foreign competition led to their collapse.
Hillard explores the industry's economic history, showing how local paper companies once controlled policies on labor, land use, and water rights. As national conglomerates absorbed family-owned mills, Wall Street's demand for short-term profits after 1980 accelerated the industry's downfall.
Through a detailed retelling of labor relations and worker experiences, Shredding Paper uncovers the story of Maine's blue-collar workforce, their struggles, and the economic transformations that reshaped the state. Shredding Paper offers a compelling analysis of how changing political economies led to the demise of a major American industry.
