This book describes how great thinkers in the history of economic thought viewed the living wage and highlights how the ideas of the early economists such as Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill support the idea of a living wage and contrast with the ideas of more recent free-market economists who do not. The lessons we can learn from the contrasting ideas of both the early and recent economists will help us to think more clearly about the issues surrounding whether, how and why workers should be paid a living wageSummary: Introduction : the living wage -- Sustainability : subsistence, necessities, and unions -- Capability : work and wages, virtue and skill -- Externality, community and wages -- Lessons from the history of economic thoughtPPN: PPN: 1023437279Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-EWE
