Book Description
Excerpt from Contributions to the Wages Question The market price of labor is that price which pre vails at any given time in virtue of the existing supply and demand. Now at any given time the supply of labor is a fixed quantity. A change of price will not cause it to vary. But price can only be in equilibrium on the condition that supply and demand are equal; and where these are not equal, equilibrium can only be reached by the action of price upon one or the other of them. As it cannot, in this instance, act upon supply, it must, if it acts at all, act upon demand. In the case of everything else which is bought and sold, it is acknowledged that the demand varies under the in uence of price. N 0 one will question that, other things being equal, people will be better clad if coatsthe demand for steam engines and for horses varies with their prices; and if this be true of the labor of beasts and of inanimate machines, what can pre vent that it should be equally true of the labor of men? Human labor, indeed, consists only in moving objects where they are wanted, the very thing that is accomplished by the labor of horses and of locomotive engines.'

Book Description
"Francis A. Walker's The Wages Question is generally credited as having demolished the prior, antiquated "wages fund" theory of wages [see Book I, Chapters VIII and IX]. In the process, Walker simultaneously laid the groundwork for John Bates Clark's definitive descriptions of the marginal products of labor and capital. His interest in the nature of the firm contributed to Frank H. Knight's work by clearly describing the factors of production and how to categorize their rewards into wages, rent, and profits."...
