Experiencing Wages

When discussing wages, historians have traditionally concentrated on the level of wages, much less on how people were paid for their work. Covering a wide geographical area, ranging from Spain to Finland, and time span, ranging from the 16th century to the 1930s, this volume offers fresh perspectives on key areas in social and economic history such as the relationship between customs, moral economy, wages and the market, changing pay and wage forms and the relationship between age, gender and wages.
