| death_place = Honesdale, Pennsylvania, US | known_for = ''Labor and Monopoly Capital: The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century'' }} Harry Braverman (December 9, 1920 – August 2, 1976) was an American Marxist, worker, political economist and revolutionary. Born in New York City to a working-class family, Braverman worked in a variety of metal smithing industries before becoming an editor at Grove Press, and later Monthly Review Press, where he worked until his death at the age of 55 in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Braverman is most widely known for his 1974 book ''Labor and Monopoly Capital: The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century'', "a text that literally christened the emerging field of labor process studies" and which in turn "reinvigorated intellectual sensibilities and revived the study of the work process in fields such as history, sociology, economics, political science, and human geography."
