Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This early 20th-century text examines legislative minimum wage experiments through a historical lens. The author traces the origins of the practice back to Roman attempts at regulating both minimum and maximum wages in the first five Christian centuries. After detailing wage-fixing experiments in the Middle Ages and the 14th century in England, the book discusses the modern revival of minimum wage laws, beginning in New Zealand in 1894. The author posits that minimum wage laws are fundamentally flawed because they place the onus of economic equality on employers rather than on society as a whole. Drawing on examples from Australia, England, New Zealand, and the United States, the author argues that minimum wage laws create unemployment, reduce interstate business, and lower payrolls. Instead of addressing class and economic problems, the author suggests that a community approach focused on health, education, and economic equality for all will produce more equitable outcomes.
