Principles & Methods of Industrial Peace. PIGOU, Arthur Cecil.

First edition of this early work by the great economist, exploring the proper approach to resolving industrial unrest between management and workers. Principles & Methods brings together three of the key early figures from the Cambridge School of Economics: besides Pigou, the overall theme of his research was suggested by Alfred Marshall, while the preface credits Keynes's contributions to the first appendix, on the indeterminacy of wage bargains. Octavo. Graphs in the text. Original blue-green cloth, spine ruled and lettered in gilt, covers ruled in blind. Near-contemporary blue ink library stamp of the National Council of Labour Colleges, Edinburgh, to front free endpaper, title page, and page 32, together with a printed ticket recording the donation of this copy by Peter McOmish Dott (1856-1934), an Edinburgh art dealer, in memory of his daughter Jean (1896-1923), formerly a student at the Labour College, London. Light rubbing and spotting, slight lean to spine, contents generally clean: a very good copy.
