""Public Regulation of the Rate of Wages"" is a book written by Rinehart John Swenson in 1917. The book explores the concept of government intervention in the regulation of wages in the United States. Swenson examines the history of wage regulation, including the role of labor unions and the impact of the Industrial Revolution on wages. He also discusses the economic and social implications of government intervention in the labor market, including the potential benefits and drawbacks of minimum wage laws. Swenson argues that while government intervention in wage regulation may be necessary in certain circumstances, it is important to strike a balance between protecting workers' rights and promoting economic growth. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the ongoing debate over the role of government in regulating wages and labor markets.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
