Sobre este artículo
8vo original cloth with gilt spine, illustrated 219 pp. Some wear to binding, a few white numbers on spine, and cloth joints cracked. Lacks front flyleaf, and have title is clipped, but with no loss. Normal aging and embossed library stamp on title and folding plates. Overall in pretty good condition. Montgomery (1792-1880) presents considerable data, a good portion in numerous tables, on the different aspects of the cost of manufacturing cotton. He looks at manufacturing costs in several locations in America, including Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. He argues that because factories in Great Britain are already as cost efficient as they can be; only additional technical advancement could improve their economies. By contrast, he felt that American factories could improve their cost structure without significant investment by managing them a little differently. Sabin 51049
