Synopsis
Excerpt from Strikes and Social Problems
The contents of this volume in their original form were, for the most part, given as addresses during the last five years, and were intended to deal in a popular manner with various social problems.
The first six treat specially and directly of the conflicts between Labour and Capital, and of the interests of both in conciliation.
The next four, though dealing indirectly with the same topics, are designed to show more generally the importance of economic principles in legislation and administration.
The last two were suggested by a voyage around Africa, and are intended to illustrate the application of these principles in undeveloped countries. One of the best examples, perhaps, of the necessity of constantly appealing to the most elementary and generally admitted principles is furnished by the continuance under British dominion of slavery in Zanzibar.

Product Description
Excerpt from Strikes and Social Problems Is it too much to hope that at this time of day the political economist may claim some part of that indulgence so readily accorded to the natural man? At any rate I shake hands with my opponents, and for more particular explanations and apologies I beg to refer my reviewers to the essay on "Political Economy and Journalism" (infra Essay VIII.) I am much indebted to Mr. A. B. Clark, M.A., for the Index, and to the proprietors of various journals for the privilege of republication.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between labor strikes and the concept of a living wage, arguing that strikes are often a symptom of a deeper problem in industrial relations. The author, an economist, draws on historical examples to illustrate the economic principles at play during strikes and their resolution, providing valuable insights for policymakers and business leaders seeking to prevent or mitigate labor disputes. The book also delves into the moral and ethical dimensions of labor strikes, examining the role of sympathy, trust, and the public good in shaping the outcome of these conflicts. Ultimately, this book challenges the notion that strikes are solely driven by economic factors and offers a more nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between labor, capital, and the pursuit of a fair and equitable wage.
