Originally written in 1882, The State in Relation to Labour is a treatise discussing the rights of workers (specifically blue-collar or factor workers) and how certain workers or jobs should be governed, both by factory owners and labor laws. Author W. Stanley Jevons discusses the principles of factory legislation, interference in industry by both the government and labor unions, acts and laws that directly affect laborers, and methods of cooperation and compromise between laborers and their superiors. Jevons wrote several books that dealt with issues of the industrial age, and this would have come at a time when industrial laborers greatly needed an advocate. Jevons avoids supporting either side, striving for a neutral conclusion as to how the state and laborers should interact, resulting in an interesting study of labor policies for history buffs and political science students. English economist and logician WILLIAM STANLEY JEVONS (1835-1882) was born in Liverpool. He studied chemistry and botany at University College, London, and was later professor of logic and political economy at Owens College, Manchester. He is also the author of The Theory of Political Economy (1871) and The State in Relation to Labour (1882).

Autorenporträt
W. Stanley Jevons (1835-1882) was an influential English economist and logician, renowned for his contributions to economics, particularly the theory of marginal utility. His work laid the groundwork for modern economic thought and significantly impacted the neoclassical school of economics. Jevons is best known for his book ""The Theory of Political Economy,"" published in 1871, where he introduced the concept of marginal utility, arguing that value is determined by the satisfaction derived from a good rather than its labor input. This shift was crucial in evolving economic theory from classical to modern perspectives. In addition to his economic work, Jevons was a noted logician, contributing to the field of logic through his work ""Principles of Science,"" where he explored the application of logic to scientific inquiry. His interdisciplinary approach, combining economics and logic, made a lasting impact on both fields, and his ideas continue to resonate in contemporary economic discussions.
