Abstract

Wages, much more so than other prices, are central to industrial relations, and in fact go to the very foundations of social relationships. In pre-industrial societies wages were basically an outcome of custom, in many cases moderated by social morality, and that system remained basically unquestioned for a long time. But the Industrial Revolution upset that apparent inertness and passivity and wages have become an object of ideological controversy.
