Chapter 1 in The Hidden Meaning of Pay Conflict, 1981, pp 1-12 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Pay is a puzzle. But perhaps few people would see it like that. They would regard it as a commonplace aspect of everyday life. Everyone can feel that he knows about pay, just as everyone can be his own cinema critic. But if we do not find the workings of pay a perplexing topic, I suggest that it is time we did. For the problems of pay—the much-publicised disputes, recriminations and injustices—appear to be growing from year to year. How can we claim to understand it, when it is in such poor shape?
