Fatigue and Unrest

"DR. SARGANT FLORENCE'S long-awaited analysis of industrial fatigue is one of the most important contributions to practical economics which has yet appeared in the English language." -- C.K. Ogden, review of The Economics of Fatigue and Unrest, Economic Journal, 1926.

"Dr. Florence makes the distinction between fatigue and unrest turn upon the distinction, not always emphasised in studies of efficiency, between ability and willingness to work." -- Hugh Dalton, review of Fatigue and Unrest, Economica, 1925.

"Broadly speaking fatigue refers to a relative incapacity to work, unrest to a relative unwillingness to work; and these are simply two points in a variety of possible psycho-physiological states of the human factor that may affect behaviour and may be affected by external conditions." -- Ogden, op. cit.
