Author: MICHAEL HUBERMAN Title: Escape from the Market
Description: Cambridge University Press, 1996. Pp: 222. This book questions the conventional wisdom that in the heyday of laisez-faire capitalism wages were set by thorough going competition. Drawing on the experience of a key group of workers during industrialisation, this book shows that even in the absence of trade unions, minimum wage legislation or unemployment insurance, wages do not always move with changes in the demand for and supply of labour. Workers and firms have good reasons to fix wages independently of market fluctuations. ISBN: 9780521561518. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
