Abstract: | This article links class analysis and institutionalism through a case study of late-19th century employers. Class analysis extends institutionalism by highlighting an additional source of cultural transposition - a generalized identity summarized here as "business citizenship". Institutionalism, in turn, shows how civic associations worked to unify employers and foster an overarching class consciousness. |
