I've transcribed the technical footnote to S.J. Chapman's "Hours of Labour" (Economic Journal, Sept. 1909) and posted it on the web at http://www.vcn.bc.ca/timework/chapman.htm I've also broken down the cluttered explanatory figure Chapman presented in the footnote into four colourful, step-by-step graphs. Until sometime in the 1930's, Chapman's analysis was considered the "classical statement on the theory of 'hours' in a free market" (J.R. Hicks, 1932). Then it virtually 'disappeared' from the economics discourse. Please forward this announcement to other lists, scholars and individuals concerned about employment, equity, working conditions, economic growth, productivity, social justice and intellectual freedom. regards, Tom Walker http://www.vcn.bc.ca/timework/covenant.htm
