''Our Foreign Competitors: Their Life and Labor'' is a book written by James Baker and published in 1892. The book explores the working conditions and lifestyles of foreign laborers, with a focus on those from Germany, France, and England. Baker compares these foreign workers to American workers and examines how their different backgrounds and experiences affect their work ethic and productivity. The book also discusses the impact of immigration on the American economy and suggests ways in which the United States can compete with foreign labor markets. Overall, ''Our Foreign Competitors: Their Life and Labor'' provides a historical perspective on the challenges of globalization and labor competition that are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
