Summary: "This collection of studies is in a sense a companion volume to my Labour Conditions in Western Europe, 1820-1935. The first part deals with certain modern theories of wages and employment in so far as they add new and important points to the great pile of theoretical material amassed during the last hundred years in the lumber-room of society, which contains the mental reaction of the bourgeois mind to general economic conditions."-- From the preface.
