Summary |
"Labour Policy—False and True" by Lynden Macassey is a study in economic history and industrial economics written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intricate relationship between labor movements, political parties, and economic policies in Britain, particularly focusing on the Labour Party's constitution and policies. Through extensive research and analysis, it aims to critique existing labor policies while proposing its own view for a just and balanced future. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of the Labour Party's history, structure, and policies. It begins with a preface that acknowledges contributions from various publications and collaborators, emphasizing the author's intention to offer a clear understanding of the Labour problem and its implications for society. Macassey outlines his approach by dividing the text into sections that will analyze the Labor Party's perceived shortcomings, the government’s labor policy, and what he believes to be the correct solution to labor issues, aiming to place community welfare above partisan interests. The introduction also highlights the tension between traditional capitalism and emerging labor movements, establishing a foundation for the detailed exploration that follows.
