Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British and Continental Labour Policy: The Political Labour Movement and Labour Legislation in Great Britain, France, and the Scandinavian Countries, 1900-1922 My original intention when visiting England in 1919 was merely to obtain personal knowledge of political life in this country ana of British conditions in general. It was first under discussions with British authorities that I began to think of making a thorough investigation into the Labour problem. I realized that there were important reasons against an undertaking of this kind. First of all, it was clear that a general investigation into modem Labour policy, covering such various fields of knowledge as economics, statistics, history, sociology, ethnology, psychology, constitutional law and parliamentary procedure, civil, criminal, and international law, would necessarily involve a great deal of work and possibly require more time than I was prepared to spare. Moreover, I feared that I might not be in a position to deal with all the different problems with sufficient expert knowledge. On the other hand, it was pointed out to me not only that it would be of interest to the British public to see the views held by an entirely independent onlooker with regard to the various problems British Labour policy has to face to-day, but also that there was an urgent need of a general treatise dealing, within comparatively small compass, with all the principal facts and issues of modem Labour policy. After careful consideration of these circumstances, I decided to take on the work. If this book may in some measure supply a real desideratum in Labour literature, if it may contribute to the enlightenment of those classes of people who have known only what might be called the caricature of the Labour problem as put forth in propagandist books and pamphlets, and if it may thereby help to remove even to a small degree the spirit of class-feeling - which is so detrimental to all classes of society and so unworthy of civilization - I shall consider my efforts to give a dispassionate account of modern Labour policy as amply rewarded. The present study has been confined to an examination of the Labour policy of the present century. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
