The Theory and Policy of Labour Protection

** "The Theory and Policy of Labour Protection" by A. (Albert) Schäffle is a scholarly exploration of worker rights and safeguards, probably penned in the late 1800s. It examines the idea of protecting laborers within the economic and social environment of that time, contrasting socialist ideas with a constructive social policy based on the systems already in place. The main goal is to analyze and suggest laws that would protect wage-earning employees from being taken advantage of, especially as factories grew. Early on, the book describes the author's plan to improve definitions and understanding of labor protection, which he believes is very important to understand and improves payed labourers lives. The analysis starts by examining the implications of safeguarding labour amid the evolution of social policy referencing the Berlin Labour Conference along with legislative suggestions. Schäffle suggests a structured study on terms, categories, along with existing protective steps in order to promote fair treatment and safety designed for staff. **
