The Theory and Policy of Labour Protection
About this book
The Theory and Policy of Labour Protection by Albert E. Schäffle is a seminal work that delves deeply into the economic, social, and ethical foundations of labor protection. Originally published in the late 19th century and translated by Mrs. Bernard Bosanquet, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the principles and practicalities underlying the protection of workers in industrial societies. Schäffle systematically examines the evolution of labor laws, the rationale for state intervention, and the balance between individual freedom and collective welfare. He explores the historical context of labor movements, the rise of factory legislation, and the impact of industrialization on working conditions. The book discusses various forms of labor protection, including regulations on working hours, child and female labor, workplace safety, and social insurance. Schäffle also addresses the economic implications of labor protection, considering both the benefits to society and the potential drawbacks for productivity and competitiveness. Throughout, he emphasizes the moral and social responsibilities of employers, the role of trade unions, and the necessity of government oversight to ensure fair treatment and security for workers. The Theory and Policy of Labour Protection remains a foundational text for understanding the development of labor rights and the ongoing debates about the role of policy in shaping the modern workplace.
