Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the value of a strong labor force and the importance of investing in the education and health of working men and women. The author, a speaker at a 19th century library dedication, compares the economic value of workers with the cost of an enslaved person in order to demonstrate his point. The author further argues that the health of a workforce is directly proportional to its productivity and value and stresses the importance of both physical and mental health for the well-being of a community. The author also discusses the importance of artistic and aesthetic experience in the community and emphasizes the power of good taste in shaping the character of people and places.
