He extended this to a theory of the "just wage", which would be determined by the demand for labour and the available supply. Wage inequality is a function of differences in skill, ability and training. Skilled workers are scarcer than unskilled so that the former will command a higher wage. 1827: 1863: 687:, urging the executive to take stringent steps against all such as were addicted to this business, many of whom were Jews.
