Synopsis

In The Catechism of Wages and Capital, discover how wages rise and fall with investment, productivity, and trade, and what this means for workers and towns.


This nonfiction work explains the balance between capital, employment, and pay. It surveys how demand, harvests, foreign competition, and tech advances influence wages, and it discusses both the short-term pressures and long-term trends that shape everyday work life.



  • How wages are affected by skill, industry, and local demand

  • Why strikes and union actions can help or hinder overall economic progress

  • Proposed reforms to trade societies and apprenticeship systems

  • How mobility, speculation, and harvests impact employment and prices


Ideal for readers seeking a clear, historical perspective on wages, work, and the economics of labor.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
