Summary, etc. This book represents the third edition of the authors' work. The second edition has been thoroughly revised and brought up to date. As in the second edition, much space has been given to current problems and to new approaches to the study of the labor market. Judg ments of teachers have been sought so that what were considered rela tively unimportant issues could be condensed.<br/><br/>As in the earlier volumes, a major objective has been the integration of economic facts and economic analysis so that the student may acquire not only an awareness of labor problems but also an understanding of conflicting views concerning their causes and possible solutions. Wher ever possible, the writers have incorporated in their discussion the latest views and approaches to various labor problems which have appeared in recent articles in professional journals. In order to stimulate classroom discussion, the pros and cons of such controversial issues as the shorter workweek, supplemental unemployment compensation, profit sharing. and the Taft-Hartley Act have been thoroughly examined in the text. Considerable effort has been made to spell out clearly economic prin ciples and the techniques of economic analysis. Wherever possible, charts and tables have been utilized to this end.<br/><br/>The authors have not attempted to write a text with a general theme or a particular slant. Their main interest has been in making available to the teacher and student a text which discusses the field of labor prob lems in a clear, comprehensive, and interesting fashion. The material contained in the text has been organized in a manner which it was felt would make the study of labor problems both enjoyable and under standable to the beginning student. Part 1, which contains a general in troduction to the field of labor problems, is intended to orient the stu dent to the subject matter. Parts II and III give a picture of labor history, union structure and government, and collective bargaining techniques. Part IV uses the tools of economic analysis to illuminate a variety of labor problems. Part V discusses wage and hour regulation and the movement toward a shorter workweek. Part VI describes in detail various programs-governmental, union, and industry-for obtaining security for the aged, the unemployed, and the sick and the injured. Part VII deals with the increasingly important role of government in labor tela tions. It contains a detailed analysis of the Taft-Hartley Act. This text was designed for both one-semester and full-year courses, Parts 1, 11, and III, and some of the chapters included in Parts V and VI. contain material which one of the authors has utilized for an intro ductory se semester course in labor problems; and the complete book fol lows, in general, this author's outline for a full-year course. Part IV, con taining nine chapters, can be utilized as a basis for an advanced semester course in the economic theory of labor. Parts V, VI, and VII are suitable, course in governmental regulation of labor relations.
