About this Item

Printed wraps, LACKING rear wrap. Paginations runs 203-228. A lecture by George Gunton discussing interactions between unions and large corporations. Gunton asserts that large corporations, contrary to opinion, tend to lower prices, have less interest in influencing government operations and are more likely to negotiate with unions. Gunton also argues that larger unions tend to operate more efficiently and react calmer to potential labor issues. This includes discussion of various strikes, including coal miners in Pennsylvania. George Gunton founded the Institute of Social Economics, through which he and others conducted research on labor and capital. He was an advocate of trusts, asserting that the larger companies were more favorable toward unions, due to having more to lose. FAIR condition, slightly ex-library. Lacking rear wrap, with front wrap DETACHED but present. Library stamp to the front wrap, with call numbers in pencil also present. Heavy chipping, tearing and loss along the front wrapper's extremities, with a 2 inch chip missing from the fore edge of the first page (not affecting text). Some offsetting to the page following, corresponding with the missing chip. Text clean and solid. Seller Inventory # 007010
