This collection will shed light on these points, examining diverse topics including in-kind and monetary payments, bonuses and supplements, work contracts, differentials between skilled and unskilled workers, women s work, slavery and coerced labour contracts, and wages in both diachronic and comparative perspective: how wages structure and composition changes across times and spaces (both in terms of geographical areas and urban-rural environments). The book presents case studies from various geographical areas (from South America to India) from the preindustrial period to the contemporary age and features related contributions on the manufacturing sector, agriculture, mining, and public sectors. The book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of pre-industrial labour markets in economic, social and labour history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters 6 and 10 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: \u003cstrong\u003eThe context for wage determination and wage bargains of the pre-industrial world \u003c\/strong\u003eGiulio Ongaro, Judy Z.
