Labour and the Wage: A Critical Perspective offers a new
perspective on why labour law struggles to respond to problems such
as low pay and under-inclusive employment. 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. The 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. Labour and the Wage 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.
