Hawtrey points to a defect in the theory of an elastic supply of labour based on marginal utilities of product and effort, in " Trade and Credit " ( 1928 ) . while a difference between the marginal utility of the product and the disutility of effort may prompt an additional supply of labour " in the simple case of a man working on his own account " ( 1928, p . 148 ), Hawtrey argues, this is not the general case since : " the decision as to the output to be undertaken is in the hands of a limited number of employers, and the workmen in the industry are passively employed by them for the customary hours at the prevailing rates of wages " ( 1928, p . 149 ).
