Original Reviews of Salaries in the Public Services in England and Wales: ‘…one respects the authority of the whole enormous work…this book represents a summary of a most considerable analysis and contributes to our overall understanding of salaries in the public sector.’ British Journal of Industrial Relations‘…much in this study…will inform and stimulate the student of income policy.’ The Times Educational Supplement.‘To compile such data for the whole of the public sector and to present it within the covers of a single volume is a notable feat.’ The British Journal of Sociology‘For practitioners and researchers alike, Part 1 should provide a useful and informative guide through the Parkinsonian reaches of English salaried employment.’ The American Economic Review‘Dr. Kahn’s proposed rationalisation of the structure of public salaries might well be a major contribution to resolving what has recently emerged as a central dilemma in wage-policy’s implementation in a mixed economy.’ The Political Quarterly.
