Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wages and Empire 'Economic investigation has hitherto fallen for the most part into the hands of lawyers and men of letters, not into those of a genuinely scientific class. Nor have its cultivators in general had that sound preparation in the sciences of inorganic and vital nature which is necessary whether as supplying bases of doctrine or as furnishing lessons of method. Their education has usually been of a metaphysical kind. Hence political economy has retained much of the form and spirit which belonged to it in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, instead of advancing with the times, and assuming a truly positive character. It is homogeneous with the school logic, with the abstract unhistorical jurisprudence, with the a priori ethics and politics, and other similar antiquated systems of thought; and it will be found that those who insist most strongly on the maintenance of its traditional character have derived their habitual mental pabulum from those regions of obsolete speculation. We can thus understand the attitude of true men of science towards this branch of study, which they regard with ill-disguised contempt, and to whose professors they either refuse or very reluctantly concede a place in their brotherhood. The radical vice of this unscientific character of political economy seems to lie in the too individual and subjective aspect under which it has been treated...

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Living Wage (Adult Males), 1918 The hearing of this inquiry took a long time, much longer than I anticipated, though, no doubt, similar inquiries in other countries have taken still longer and have been carried out more elaborately. I feel greatly indebted to the parties for the generous response which they have made to my appeal to them for assistance. The trouble and expense to which they must have been put are con siderable, and the amount of work surprising. The materials thus put before me are valuable, and have helped me much, though I have occasionally realised that the inquiry was of such importance and extent as to have been perhaps more properly undertaken by a Commission with the public purse behind it than by private persons, whose sacrifices cannot reasonably be expected to be unlimited. Its importance consists in this, that it afiects every employee and every employer in the State. All wages depend more or less upon the fixing of the basic or living wage, and that that should be fixed with fairness to all parties is, therefore, a matter of high consequence. I wish that I could have obtained even further materials, but I must do what I can with those at my command.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Centuries of Work and Wages: A History of English Labor The failure to do this has been the supreme vice of most economic discussion. Economic truth finds her greatest foes not in absolute errors but in half-truths. By a judicious selection of their facts, writers, and sometimes even able scholars, have appeared to make history teach what they would. But such use of history is not history, but the prostitution of history to party zeal. Its offspring are but bastard children, though sometimes you may find them in court circles and high places of the aristocracy of letters. We need all the facts.

Download or read book The Path of Empire Classic Reprint written by George Lynch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Path of Empire The peopling of Siberia will be done otherwise. At present there is an annual surplus in the Russian birth rate Of I, 61 3, 000. The population of Russia doubles In sixty years, so that about the middle of this century there will be more Russians on the earth than at the time of the last census in 1897. There is much Similarity to the Russian plan Of peaceful campaign, in the motives which have prompted the Japanese to build the railway from Fusan to Seoul, and much of the same results that it has effected, may be seen being effected there. The railway lines which are opening up China are no less interesting. I would be the last to advocate a policy of territorial aggression in the East - we want to do business there, not to acquire terri tory, or to have the burden Of government upon us. It is in the direction of Opening up the country to trade that all Our efforts should be concentrated, and the work of our diplomatists ought to be directed more than they are, to furthering our commercial interests. If China were con vinced that the Powers wanted no more territory, she would be the more inclined to open her doors for trade. With regard to the three provinces of China, comprising Manchuria, which Russia has now practically annexed, if it is not now too late, the strongest diplomatic pressure, ought to be brought to bear to insist on this immense and rich territory, the importance Of whose resources we do not fully realise, being thrown Open to the trade of the world. When Russia is being allowed to break her solemn promise to evacuate it, such a condition is the least compensation that might be looked for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wage-Labor and Capital The first, entitled wage-labor and Capital, was trans lated for us by Dr. Harriet E. Lothrop, of Boston, from the standard German edition prepared by Engels in 1891. This is the only complete English edition of it that has yet appeared, and its accuracy was doubly se cured by a critical comparison of its every sentence with the German text, made at the request of the translator by Herman Simpson, of New York, who also added foot notes wherever comment seemed needful. In the perform ance of their respective task, both kept in mind the all important consideration, that in the works of Marx, as in all works, truly scientific, the exact expression is an essential factor and should not, therefore, be sacrificed to literary style in its transfer from one language to another.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wages and the War: A Summary of Recent Wage Movements The information secured, and here presented, while by no means cover ing all of the varied lines of employment in the country, is believed to be sufficiently comprehensive to be representative of wage conditions and wage changes among American wage earners. The wage data presented are usually in the form of hourly, daily or piece rates of pay. In some instances, however, it was necessary to use weekly or payroll earnings as a guide to wage trend, and in most of the organized trades, the union scales of wages have been employed as indicative of the actual wage-rates received.

Download or read book The Wages written by Fanny Howe and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Literary Nonfiction. Yound Adult. Born amidst tragedy and implacable hatreds, the young Peter McCutcheon is denied his freedom, his birthright, and the fruits of his labors by cruel masters, and by a society and history which denies the truth. THE WAGES is a monument to individual courage and to the ongoing injustices caused by the suppression of memories and the oppression of people. It is also a powerful document of America's entanglement in slavery and vicious myths of race. The wages of sin, according to the Bible, is death. Fanny Howe's novel demonstrates that the wages of hate are pain, and a cost not always borne by the perpetrator, or even the current generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of the Moral Empire We have still too many gods and no God. Conscience and utility are two gods. So are the inner and the outer world, pride and love, individualism and collectivism. To mention a few more, nations are gods, and classes are gods. It is natural for us to reduce all these dualistic and pluralistic gods to one God. This natural reduction, however, is only possible by means of synthetic creation. A new God fashioned from the substance of all existing gods is the thing which we now badly want. The sense of the dignity of one's own moral person is in need of being so heightened as to stand above all things else.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Authors and Their Public in Ancient Times: A Sketch of Literary Conditions and of the Relations With the Public of Literary Producers, From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Roman Empire In printing the second and third impressions of my essay, I have been able to take advantage of certain corrections and suggestions submitted by friendly critics, among whom I wish to make special acknowledgments to Mr. Charlton T. Lewis and to Mr. Otis S. Hill, whose aid in the verification of the quotations has been particularly valuable. I may mention that in the printing of the first edition, I had been obliged, in connection with the increasing limitations of my eyesight, to confide the verification and the proof-reading of the quotations to an assistant, whose services proved, unfortunately, incompetent and untrustworthy. As a result, a number of errors which had been repeated from the German editions, or which had crept into the work of the transcriber, of the typewriter, or of the compositor, found place with annoying persistency, in the volume as printed.
