The first two volumes of economist Sydney Chapman's Work and Wages (there was a third volume, Social Betterment), building on Lord Brassey's 1872 title of the same name. Chapman examines the dynamics of the labour market in various industries (shipbuilding, iron, cotton etc). The first volume examines the influences of foreign trade on the working classes, the second looks at the determination of wage rates, and the role trade unions and government in setting wages and working condition. Condition: Both volumes are in very good condition for age. There is some marking to the rear board of volume one, both books have some wear to the spine ends and tanning to the page edges but both remains in solid shape and in strong readable condition.…
