Why not $85 or $850 per hour?

Why not $85 or $850 per hour?

The Christian Science Monitor runs an  interesting report on the absurd attempt by the voters of San Francisco to raise wages by government fiat. The new mandate is for $8.50 per hour. The owner of one restaurant says that he’ll raise wages but only by cutting into employees’ benefits.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
