Offering a critique of contemporary capitalism whilst accepting the superiority of the free market, the book includes an exploration of areas such as cost and surplus, supply and demand and the labour movement.

The Physiology of Industry is a remarkable work which set out to challenge contemporary theory surrounding the economics of labour, supply and demand.

This is a fascinating collection of material that provides an unparalleled depth of insight into the views of one of the most important economic thinkers of the early...
