Synopsis

What explains the debate behind a living wage and the coal strike of 1893?

This concise, thoughtful volume analyzes how economic ideas apply to real-world labor conflicts. It asks tough questions about wages, profits, and how to measure “facts” in a noisy field.

In these essays, the author pares back technical talk to show how public debates about strikes, wages, and industrial progress can be understood with plain reasoning. It invites readers to weigh evidence, consider the broader impact on workers and industry, and see where policy might help without harming economic vitality.
  • How a living wage is defined and interpreted in practice
  • How capital and labor interact during strikes and wage decisions
  • Why clear explanations matter for public opinion and policy
  • Ways economists think about real-world consequences beyond numbers
Ideal for readers of economic history, labor studies, and social policy who want a clear, grounded look at workplace conflict and wage ideas.
