In these lectures and the appendix, Twiss argues as a political economist that improvements in machinery can actually improve the plight of the worker, as higher production should result in higher pay, as long as education is provided to the worker and to children. He focuses on the poverty of textile workers in England for much of his argument, but applies this line of thinking to all forms of labor. Twiss [1809-1897] was a jurist who rose to Queen's Advocate-General. Like New with original thin paper cover. Irish University Press, Shannon, Ireland. 1971. Hb. USED. $20.00 Show more
