To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Like Adam Smith and Ricardo, Roscher admits that the ideas conveyed by the expressions "necessaries of life " and " standard of decency" are relative ones, and vary in different ages and countries, according to the habits and customs of the people; and therefore, he thinks that the working (lasses hold in their own hands the principal elements wliieh determine wages, and have no right to complain of an " iron law/' which is for ever dragging wages down to the subsistence minimum. Every increa...se in wages must produce an increase in the number, or in the well-being, of the workmen, and it is in their own power to decide between the two alternatives. Up to this point the view of Roscher bears a striking resemblance to that of Ricardo; but when he proceeds to state what it is that constitutes the demand for labour, we find a divergence from the Ricardian doctrine. Still fol- lowing the analogy of other commodities, he tells us that the demand for labour depends, (1) on its value in use, (2) on the purchaser's power to pay for it.
