The State In Relation To Labor (1894)

By Michael Cababé and William Stanley Jevons

Book Overview

The State In Relation To Labor is a book written by William Stanley Jevons in 1894. The book discusses the role of the state in regulating labor and wages. Jevons argues that the state should play a minimal role in regulating labor markets, and that wages should be determined by supply and demand. He also discusses the impact of labor unions on wages and argues that they can sometimes be harmful to workers. Jevons advocates for a free market approach to labor, where workers and employers are free to negotiate wages and working conditions without interference from the state. The book is a significant contribution to the debate on labor regulation and has influenced economic thinking on the subject for over a century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
