A Marxian-inspired ontological approach sheds new light on the role of labour law in a capitalist economy and on the limitations and potential of labour law when it comes to bringing about social change. It illustrates this through the lens of the wage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book develops a legal genealogy that explores the shifting portfolio of concepts through which the wage has been conceptualized in legal discourse as capitalism has developed. This exploration spans from the Norman Conquest to the present day, and covers diverse issues such as the decasualization of the docks, sweated labour, the truck system, tax-credits, tips, and minimum wages. \u003cem\u003e Labour and the Wage\u003c\/em\u003e provides one of the most in-depth and comprehensive analyses of the wage to date, while, at the same time, shedding new light on the contradictory role, or function, of labour law in the context of capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zoe Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198858892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198858898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Zoe Adams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941905367295,"sku":"9780198858898","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_393c10db-c6cb-43d9-8c73-f4aaf6bd81a5.jpg?v=1681455637","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/labour-and-the-wage-zoe-adams-9780198858898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
