Edited by B. J. McCormick and E. Owen Smith, this carefully curated collection presents the foundational arguments and empirical studies that shaped twentieth-century labour economics, addressing wage determination, employment theory, trade unions, collective bargaining, and the structural dynamics of labour supply and demand.\n\nThe anthology situates itself at the crossroads of economic theory and real-world policy, drawing on contributions from leading economists to illuminate the complex interplay between workers, firms, and markets. McCormick and Smith's editorial hand is both rigorous and accessible, making the collection indispensable for students and scholars alike who seek to understand the forces that underpin working life in industrial societies. Whether one approaches it as an introduction or a reference, this volume leaves the reader with an enduring question: in a world of shifting power between capital and labour, who truly sets the price of work?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210266452187,"sku":"2026200017482-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6b6c5dab-fe58-4104-966f-62247d5c93c0.png?v=1788268378","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017482-secondhand-the-labour-market","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
