Government overreach in trade and labor rules debated
A critical review discusses historical precedents for state control of production and labor. It weighs schemes from Henry VII to German regulations, proposes public education, health, funerals, and leisure programs, and argues political economy cannot fix all social ills without fair play for free enterprise. It cites four lectures to the working classes and praises Mr Swaine’s talk on the Political Franchise as a key reference.
