Featured review of Delalande, N., La lutte et l'entraide. L'âge des solidarités ouvrières

It’s all about the money, might be an irreverent but apt summary of Nicolas Delalande’s history of working-class solidarity in pre-WWI Europe. La lutte et l'entraide – The Battle and mutual help –investigates socialist internationalism from a new and interesting perspective, viz. the money flows labor solidarity facilitated and relied on. Combining an incisive and thought-provoking view on socialist solidarity in the 1860s and 1870s with an admittedly useful, but less original summary of developments from the 1880s to the 1970s, this book shows two faces. Despite this dualism it stands firm as a must-read contribution to the ever-expanding library of working-class internationalism and socialist solidarity.
