Preferred term

sweatshops  

Definition(s)

  • Sweatshops are one of the most paradoxical organizational and production forms of industrial capitalism. Existing prior to the rise of the factory system, the sweatshop is often depicted in imagery and language that would have it as, if not precapitalist, at the very least parochial, arcane, and part of a chaotic, disorganized, unregulated system of production. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Organization Studies; Sweatshops]
