Title
Luddites Past and Present
Abstract
Analyzes usage of the term, Luddite, in public discourse as a derogatory notion of anti-technology machine-wreckers. Argues that this damages labour's position in these types of confrontations. Concludes that historians should use the term solely in reference to the historical phenomenon that occurred in England from 1811 to 1817.
