Wages and work effort in English economic thought, 1670-1770
This article, by examining the two strands of thought developed during the period 1670-1770 in English economic thought with respect to the preferable wage rates, intends to evaluate the theoretical arguments which specify the pre-classical theses for or against low real wages and to analyse how the relationship between wages and individuals' work effort is interpreted according to the pre-classical English economists. In addition, we examine what these writers proposed as regards the formation of the desirable level of wages and what factors influence them to adopt specific views.
