Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Work and Wages, Vol. 1: In Continuation of Lord Brassey´s ´Work and Wages´ and ´Foreign Work and English Wages´, Foreign Competition It is my privilege to write an introduction to a volume by Professor Chapman, dealing with British and foreign labour. The present volume may be regarded as the sequel to Work and Wages, published in 1872, and to my later book, Foreign Work and English Wages, published in 1879. Professor Chapman has brought the inquiry up to date. Some personal explanations may here be given. I had desired to examine anew the relative efficiency of British and foreign labour. Unaided, the task was evidently impossible. In Professor Chapman, trained in Economics at Cambridge under Professor Marshall, and now Professor of Political Economy in the University of Manchester, I have found an able fellow-worker of a younger generation - more, indeed, than a fellow-worker - the volume now published being entirely from the pen of Professor Chapman. I can perhaps the more unreservedly commend it. The topics discussed in Work and Wages and Foreign Work and English Wages fall naturally into two classes. First, there are questions as to the comparative efficiency of labour in different countries, in the most important industries.
