Interwar conferences succeeded by subjugating labor, not by coordinating among states

Evidence

Th e conferences succeeded in establishing an agenda to solidify the faltering pillars of capitalism. While the capitalist powers may have failed in their horizontal relationship— establishing a system of power with one another— they most certainly achieved success in their vertical relationship— to labor, that is, in subjugating it. — Clara E. Mattei, The Capital Order, 671
