N1  - Includes bibliographical footnotes and index
N2  - The book anticipates a number of developments in distribution and growth theory and remains a standard work in labour economics.
Part I of the book takes as its starting point a reformulation of the marginal productivity theory of wages as determined by supply and demand in full competitive equilibrium of a free market economy. Part II considers regulated labour markets resulting from labour disputes, trade unions and government action. The 2nd edition (1963) includes a harsh critical review and, from Hicks, two subsequent related articles and an extensive commentary
