This weekend’s Common Sense column takes us back to the question of the minimum wage, and the evil, awful Walmart. But really what it’s about is the vision of market life we see in liberal-progressive ideology. Click on over, then return here. There are links in the column, but it might help to consider a few ideas in addition to those links:
- Thomas Sowell, “ ‘Living Wage’ Kills Jobs”
- F.A. Harper, “Why Wages Rise” (PDF)
- Jeffrey Tucker, “Jeff’s Story (video)” and “The Basement Beneath the Floor”
- Bryan Caplan, The Myopic Empiricism of the Minimum Wage
