Labor And The Popular Welfare (1893) - William Hurrell Mallock - Bog

Labor and the Popular Welfare is a book by William Hurrell Mallock, originally published in 1893. The book explores the relationship between labor and the welfare of the general population. Mallock argues that the interests of labor and the interests of society as a whole are not always aligned, and that policies aimed at improving the welfare of workers may have unintended consequences for the broader population.Mallock's arguments are grounded in his belief in the importance of individualism and free markets. He contends that attempts to regulate labor and improve working conditions through government intervention are misguided, and that such policies ultimately harm both workers and society as a whole. Instead, Mallock advocates for a laissez-faire approach to labor relations, in which employers and workers are free to negotiate their own terms without interference from the state.Despite its controversial arguments, Labor and the Popular Welfare was widely read and influential in its time. It remains a valuable historical document for understanding the debates surrounding labor and welfare policy in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
