'This encyclopedic book lives up to its title. An up-to-date handbook of what we know on almost everything interesting and important in labor written by prominent economists, labor relations experts, and legal experts. The opening chapters lay out the intellectual framework linking law and economics in individual and collective employment contracts. Then comes a potpourri of topics from pay to benefits to regulations to discrimination to global labor markets to. . . you name it. Deeper and more complete than any textbook.'
