Levin-Waldman (economics, Bard College) traces the historical evolution of minimum-wage policy and explains how models are used and misused by different interests to achieve their particular aims. As organized labor has declined as a political force over the past 20 years, he argues, the debate has narrowed and focused on often highly technical discussion concerned with specific effect of a given specific increase, such as relieving poverty and youth unemployment. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Places contemporary minimum wage debates in historical context, stressing the importance of political as opposed to economic variables.
