Synopsis
Excerpt from Economics: Lesson 15
N the present lesson it will be our business to consider -'the relations between the entre preneur and the wage-earner - between the men who pay wages and the men who receive them. In order to do this it is necessary to glance briefly at the history of the two classes.
As we have already seen, in some industries such as our Canadian agriculture, there is no great dis tinction between the classes, and then no question of the relations between them need arise. Thus labour troubles or strikes are not heard of on the Canadian farm, though they arise on the English farm, because on the lat ter the functions of wage-earner and entrepreneur are divided. The English gentleman-farmer goes around 'supervising the work of his laborer; and does no manual labour himself - indeed he would lose the respect of his laborers if he did.
