The Problem of Industrial Relations and Other Lectures.

First edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author to the economic historian T. S. Ashton on the front free endpaper, "To T. S. Ashton, from Henry Clay, 30.iv.29". The pair were colleagues at the University of Manchester during the 1920s, and Clay petitioned to name an economics prize in Ashton's honour in 1944. Sir Henry Clay (1883-1954) was Professor of Political Economy and then Professor of Social Economics at Manchester, and here presents a number of lectures on strikes, lock-outs, and increased public interest in industrial disputes. Octavo. Diagrams in the text. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, covers with blind rules. Spine faded, extremities lightly worn, covers a little marked, a couple of splits to joints, but sound. A very good copy.
