I love when people give us opportunities to empirically measure their bad theories.
- octonion 12y agoThose "bad theories" have led to a far higher quality of life than the US.
- saosebastiao 12y agoSwitzerland, which doesn't even have a national minimum wage at all, grew to have a much higher quality of life by the mere presence of theories of the minimum wage. Did I understand that correctly?
- facepalm 12y agoYeah because you can directly compare Switzerland and the US. Where does the high income of Swiss people come from? I don't think the same thing would be replicable for the US (for starters, the US is not a tiny neutral country surrounded by Alps).
- anonymousDan 12y agoSo? Even if that were true, it's irrelevant to the above poster's counterpoint to the previous poster's statement.
- facepalm 12y agoHow so?
- UweSchmidt 12y agoIt's difficult to empirically measure any theory if you come into it burdenen with ideology.
