Item description from seller

A smart new impression of this insightful comparative work on industrial life from British author Arthur Shadwell. Complete in two volumes. New impression. A detailed and comprehensive comparative study of industrial life in different countries, specifically England, Germany, and the United States of America. An investigation into the growing pressures of international competition in industry, assuming this will be the warfare of the future, dealing with the conditions under which industries are running. With chapters on national qualities, industrial districts, factory laws, conditions and hours, wages and compensation, insurance, housing, and technical education. As well as the physical living and social conditions of workers, trade unions, and relevant industrial disputes. Written by Arthur Shadwell, a British physician and author, specialising in public health, temperance, and wider problems of economics and politics. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and bumping to the extremities. Fading to the spine and board edges with the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd small spot. Light scattered spotting and minor age toning to the endpapers. Very Good.
