Sir Arthur Lyon Bowley (1869-1957) was a British economist and statistician. In this book, which was first published in 1900, Bowley provides a statistically based examination of British wages during the nineteenth century.

This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in British economic history and the development of statistics.…mehr
