The Wages Question

Excerpt from The Wages Question: A Treatise on Wages and the Wages Class Wages a Question in the Distribution of Wealth. All the questions of Political Economy may, both conveniently and appropriately, be grouped under four titles, namely, the Production, the Distribution, the Exchange, and the Consumption of Wealth. All wealth has, of course, to be produced, in the first place; and, moreover, it is produced to be consumed, and for this end alone. Production and Consumption, therefore, are concerned with the entire sum of wealth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
