Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Work and welfare, and outstanding book by Donald R. Stabile, should influence public policy as well as alter the way society views current economic theorizing....Stablie's excellent book is a remarkable and welcome addition to the body of scholarship on economic thought and to the contremporary economic discipline itself. As he so aptly recognizes, the study is a particularly and downisizing, wage and benefit cuts, and technological change are rapidly eroding any basis of seurity of decency for workers' wages."-Business Library Review "This is an excellent source for readers interested in the history of thought on labor and welfare."-Choice "The result is a gracefully written book that encourages (particulary but not solely for non-economic's great figures."-Crypotolgia ?This is an excellent source for readers interested in the history of thought on labor and welfare.?-Choice ?The result is a gracefully written book that encourages (particulary but not solely for non-economic's great figures.?-Crypotolgia ?Work and welfare, and outstanding book by Donald R.

Stabile's meticulously documented study will be the hornbook for classical thought on labor in a market society."- David O. Whitten Professor of Economics, Auburn University editor, Business Library Review "Don Stabile has written a remarkable and readable book on topics neglected in contemporary labor economics. . . . By focusing on the social costs of labor in the history of economic thought, Stabile has rescued and brought together materials which, especially in a managerialist-thinking corporate system, should not be cast aside."-Warren J. Samuels Professor of Economics Michigan State University Read more...
