Labour Supply and Regulation

By: Wolfe, Humbert

"Labour Supply and Regulation" offers a comprehensive examination of the complex mechanisms governing the workforce and industrial organization. Written by Humbert Wolfe, a prominent figure in the British civil service, this work provides an authoritative analysis of the administrative and economic challenges involved in managing labour resources, particularly during the transformative years of the early twentieth century. The text delves into the intricacies of recruitment, distribution, and the legislative measures designed to stabilize the industrial front during periods of national crisis.

Wolfe explores the evolving relationship between the state, employers, and workers, detailing how regulation shifted from laissez-faire principles to more interventionist strategies.
