^{Page 531 note 3} The wage bill, W, is the product of the average wage rate, w, and the numbers employed, L. The increment to the wage bill, ΔW, is the sum of the increment to the wage rate, Δw, times the (initial) numbers employed, plus the increment to employment, ΔL, times the (initial) wage rate plus the increment to the wage rate times the increment to employment, which last term we shall overlook as being relatively small.

The validity of their claims to legitimacy may be based on: ‘1. Rational grounds – resting on a belief in the “legality” of patterns of normative rules and the right of those elevated to authority under such rules to issue commands (legal authority). ‘2. Traditional grounds – resting on an established belief in the sanctity of immemorial traditions and the legitimacy of the status of those exercising authority under them (traditional authority); or finally, ‘3.
