2. The share of the annual product or national dividend which goes as a reward to labor, as distinct from the remuneration
received by capital in its various forms. This economic or technical sense of the word wages is broader than the current
sense, and includes not only amounts actually paid to laborers, but the remuneration obtained by those who sell the products
of their own work, and the wages of superintendence or management, which are earned by skill in directing the work of
others.
3. the aggregate capital existing at any time in any country, which theoretically is unconditionally destined to be paid out in
wages. It was formerly held, by Mill and other political economists, that the average rate of wages in any country at any time
depended upon the relation of the wages fund to the number of laborers. This theory has been greatly modified by the
discovery of other conditions affecting wages, which it does not take into account.
