What would happen to the economy if minimum wages are raised?

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Raising the.min wage HISTORICALLY damages the.middle.class, by devaluing their work, and.making it almost impossible to start a business.

Can you explain. Can you provide you provide proof? I think you are simply pushing dogma, with no truth at all.

Minimum wage more pure libsocialist ignorance:

1) makes it illegal to employ people not worth minimum wage
2) raise prices for poor people who often shop where minimum wage folks work
3) speeds up automation and replacement of minimum wage jobs
4) teaches people that you get ahead with govt violence rather than being worth more
5) raises prices, reduces demand, and thus reduces employment
6) makes American workers even less competitive with foreign workers



One of the simplest and most fundamental economic principles is that people tend to buy more when the price is lower and less when the price is higher. Yet advocates of minimum wage laws seem to think that the government can raise the price of labor without reducing the amount of labor that will be hired.

Thomas Sowell, "Minimum Wage Madness," September 17,

Thomas Sowell is a econ prof who brags that he is a libertarian, who can not name a single successful libertarian nation, or libertarian economy. He is a close associate of the Koch brothers and their think tank, CATO. If you want a total lack of integrity, read Sowell. Known by economists as a bought and paid for clown.
But what would you expect from ed, who is himself a self admitted Libertarian, also looking for a successful libertarian economy. Poor ignorant clown.

Posting lies about the facts of minimum wage is what con trolls do All six points untrue. And the source is totally partial, a true con troll. But what would you expect of ed?

Thomas Sowell is a well respected economist who came out of college believing that communism was the best political system in existence only to change his mind when he saw what big government policies did to the sugar cane industry and it's workers in Puerto Rico. Thomas Sowell is a libertarian because he saw for himself that government isn't always the answer and often times it becomes the problem.

I was fortunate to have Thomas Sowell as an economics professor when he taught one year at Amherst College. He was one of the best professors I had when I was in college. Knee jerk progressives like you, Rshermr...hate people like Sowell because they deal in reality rather than pie in the sky liberal theory.

 

[Oldstyle]

If anyone wants to read a text on economics that makes sense...I strongly suggest reading anything that Sowell has written on the subject.

Knee jerk progressives like you, Rshermr...hate people like Sowell because they deal in reality rather than pie in the sky liberal theory.

So, you admit sowell was stupid enough to believe that communism, an economic system that never had a chance of survival, was the best. So, he started believing in communism, then changed to libertarianism, the other economic system that never had a chance of making it. Communism never succeeded, and today only a very few poor countries call themselves communist. Shows Sowell's ignorance. Then, he goes on to support an economic system even more a failure. Libertarianism, which has never succeeded in the history of the world. Great.

Relative to pie in the sky, that would be anyone who believes in Libertarianism. You see, liberal theory exists, whether you believe in it or not. Libertarianism is a dream. By nut cases who do not want to look at economic history and observe the many times it has been tried and has failed. And you, me boy, think it is "reality". Which simply proves you to be disconnected with reality in a really fast way. Just like your hero, Sowell.

I hardly hate Sowell. I simply try to see him as he is, and he is certainly not a great economic professor. Like a number of economists, he chose to take the big bucks, siding with the movers and shakers of the Libertarian push who make econ professors the best offers out there. Sowell is a rich economist. But his theories are hardly of interest to serious economists. History majors who are con trolls and have very little economic understanding may be impressed. What was that? Two classes in economics you have had, and you are an expert on the best economists, choosing Sowell? Are you simply trying to prove you are a joke? Sowell is a close associate of the folks at CATO, particularly Charles Koch and his brother. Who are well known to pay economists with low ethics to push their views. Yup, that would be your way of proving he is a great economist. Economists with ethics have the class to stay impartial. Unlike Sowell.

He wrote just one. Not well received, except in right wing circles. Here is a comment or two.
Responding to the question would you recommend Sowells text, the response was a list of other texts and the following in response to Sowell's text:

"I would say no. A strong and resounding "NO!"
Perhaps if you are looking for a primer on American libertarianism, it's not bad, though Rothbard is perhaps more cited.
But for an unbiased intro to economics, you would be better served by a book written by a mainstream or at least professional economist."
Is the book 'Basic Economics' by Thomas Sowell a decent primer of the study? Will his obvious resent for non-capitalist systems interfere at all? • /r/AskSocialScience

Reviews of the text are generally not favorable. There are good texts, and there are those that fall short. This one falls short, according to the multiple reviews out there.

There is a difference, me girl, between economic plans and economic texts. We were discussing economic texts. Perhaps if you start with a dictionary. Be sure to look up Economics, and you will find that it is a Social Science. So AskSocialScience is indeed a valid source, and discusses right leaning economics frequently and mostly favorably. It simply believes Sowell's text to be poor.
Next, if you are referring to Libertarianism, Sowell's economic system (not plan) of choice, you are referring to an economic system that has never in the history of earth worked. So you would, I assume, not expect expect the source to approve of it.

You can solve the problem of everything being expensive and bottom not making enough to afford it by 2 ways:

1. Easy way out. Throw some money at the problem, increase min wage, problem solved...

2. Take steps to ensure job gets paid its real value. Meaning, a college education dont cost you a fortune, a hospital dont bankrupt you....

Then again, you already proved you are incapable of rational talk. You see, me boy, you are too stupid to discuss anything. No chance you are going to make sense. You simply help prove that con trolls are, by definition, stupid.

Lefties dislike texts that point out the failures of their economic systems.

So, that must be why this "leftist" source points favorably toward several Friedman texts. The problem with Sowell's texts are many. But mostly that it is partial. Nearly all texts that are used by actual universities are impartial by requirement. Which is beyond the understanding of Libertarians like yourself.

If they had dinged Friedman, even morons like you would have to admit they were leftist hacks.
Having not read the source, you have no clue. But that is pretty normal, eh, me con troll. You see, as a con troll, you do not understand the concept of impartial sources, nor do you want to believe that this could be one. Must be convenient to believe anything you want to, eh?

If anyone wants to read a text on economics that makes sense...I strongly suggest reading anything that Sowell has written on the subject.

He wrote just one. Not well received, except in right wing circles. Here is a comment or two.
Responding to the question would you recommend Sowells text, the response was a list of other texts and the following in response to Sowell's text:

"I would say no. A strong and resounding "NO!"
Perhaps if you are looking for a primer on American libertarianism, it's not bad, though Rothbard is perhaps more cited.
But for an unbiased intro to economics, you would be better served by a book written by a mainstream or at least professional economist."
Is the book 'Basic Economics' by Thomas Sowell a decent primer of the study? Will his obvious resent for non-capitalist systems interfere at all? • /r/AskSocialScience

Reviews of the text are generally not favorable. There are good texts, and there are those that fall short. This one falls short, according to the multiple reviews out there.

Yes, fake liberal impartiality is a must.
