Note 348 — Chapter XV

I have chosen maid-servants, to avoid complications of costs of production in the reasoning that might come if other labor, engaged in producing goods for the market, were selected. To tighten the argument a tittle further, I assume that the masters receive their monthly incomes on the first day of the month; that they pay the maids on the same day; that the rest of the expenditures, both of masters and maids, are strung out through the rest of the month.
