** "The Personal Relation in Industry" by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. explores the changing world of work in the early 1900s, with essays and speeches that focus on how companies and employees interact. It dives into the historical context of industry and the move from small businesses to huge corporations, noting that this change made it more difficult for workers and bosses to connect on a personal level, leading to problems and disagreements. Rockefeller champions the idea of labor, management, and capital working together as partners instead of enemies. He believes empathy, respect, and fair representation can create a more balanced and successful workplace for everyone. The book opens by highlighting the importance of cooperation to solve the complex problems of the post-war world, with Rockefeller suggesting a revamping of industrial relations to build trust and understanding. **
