- https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/2311mb/adam_smith_on_living_wage_national_wealth_growth/
- Book I, Chapter VIII, "Of the Wages of Labour"
- "A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more, otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation."
- That is: if you're not paying a worker enough to live, to raise a family, and, in an advanced society, to raise themselves and their family to a level of education and ability sufficient to contribute to that society, you're eating your seed corn, by way of labor capital....
- https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/1z5vfb/thoughts_on_minimum_wage_enterprise_viability/
- 1. A subsistence-level or higher wage is necessary to sustain availability of labour. Consistently paying below-subsistence wages indicates that the economic activity supported by them is not, in fact, sufficiently profitable to warrant a fair-market claim to those inputs.
- 3. That there exists a natural bargaining advantage in favor of employers over labour, again established by Smith...
- 4. That a well-formed minimum wage is not an "arbitrary price control", but a recognition in law of these economic facts, and a shift of burden from workers to employers to demonstrate economic viability....
- 5. That the alternative of abandoning labor to "starve to death (or more likely commit crimes and be given 'welfare' via the prison system)", as /u/NakedAndBehindYou so charmingly puts it, is neither morally nor economically desirable: that the costs of productivity loss, of criminal activity, of prison costs, and of likely negative public health consequences, of which TDR-TB would be one particularly interesting case (though hardly the only example one could suggest), would far outweight any possible economic benefit....
- 10. That a failure of enterprise to provide subsistence-level or greater wages suggests either a gross power imbalance between labour and employers, or, and more troubling, a state of economic stagnation and/or decline, again as illuminated by Smith....
- 11. It's on this last point in which I tend to diverge from much of the mainstream viewpoint of either the right or the left, and draw instead strongly from the Limits to Growth and Collapse literature. Long-term economic decline cannot be addressed only through short-term shifts in tax and welfare policies. If it's to be managed at all it would be through a deliberate de-growth policy, one in which equity would have to be a significant component if major structural breakdowns and costs are to be avoided.
