The Wage Standard
What's Wrong in the Labor Market and How to Fix It
Book • 2024
Arindrajit Dube examines how the labor market failed many workers, with wages at the bottom and middle lagging behind over 70 percent productivity gains and soaring top incomes.
Drawing on two decades of research, he reveals the mechanics of wage stagnation, argues it was not inevitable, and proposes levers like reshaping corporate decisions, policy priorities, stronger minimum wages, unions, and full employment to rebalance power and unlock broad-based prosperity.
Dube offers hope that workers deserve raises achievable through public engagement without fixing national politics.
