The locals were horrified that a jukebox had been installed. The landlord thought laterally, however. For a few pence locals could buy three minutes of silence. The regulars duly loaded the machine at opening time. No music was forthcoming and the landlord profited. Peace all round.Richard Morris and Naccolt, KentLetter to the editor, The Times of London, December 19, 2018—Suggested by Stephen Littlechild Previous article DetailsFiguresReferencesCited by Journal of Political Economy Volume 128, Number 11November 2020 Article DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1086/712599 Views: 295 © 2020 by The University of Chicago.
