The Human Needs of Labour #260243

I do not believe for a moment that in the future we shall allow millions of our fellow countrymen, through no fault of their own, to pass through life ill-housed, ill-clothed, ill-fed, ill-educated. But if their conditions are to be remedied, the present scale of wages for un skilled labourers must be materially raised. What are the human needs of labour? At what cost can they be supplied? Can industry bear this cost? And, if not, can it be met in any other way? These are the questions I attempt to answer in this book.
