Bound by Our Constitution

Book Description
What difference does a written constitution make to public policy? How have women workers fared in a nation bound by constitutional principles, compared with those not covered by formal, written guarantees of fair procedure or equitable outcome? To investigate these questions, Vivien Hart traces the evolution of minimum wage policies in the United States and Britain from their common origins in women's politics around 1900 to their divergent outcomes in our day. She argues, contrary to common wisdom, that the advantage has been with the American constitutional system rather than the British. Basing her analysis on primary research, Hart reconstructs legal strategies and policy decisions that revolved around the recognition of women as workers and the public definition of gender roles. Contrasting seismic shifts and expansion in American minimum wage policy with indifference and eventual abolition in Britain, she challenges preconceptions about the constraints of American constitutionalism versus British flexibility. Though constitutional requirements did block and frustrate women's attempts to gain fair wages, they also, as Hart demonstrates, created a terrain in the United States for principled debate about women, work, and the state--and a momentum for public policy--unparalleled in Britain. Hart's book should be of interest to policy, labor, women's, and legal historians, to political scientists, and to students of gender issues, law, and social policy.

Pages : 36
Book Description
It is the thesis of this booklet, one of a series intended to apply economic principles to major social and political issues of the day, that minimum wage laws actually hurt those whom such laws are designed to help. From this point of departure, separate subsections examine economic implications of minimum wage laws, including discussion of what determines wages and working conditions, individual hiring decisions, those who are affected by minimum wage laws, results of minimum wage laws, and those who support these laws. Following a discussion of who benefits and who loses, it is argued that when someone without job experience wants a job but is "not worth the going wage rate," the best way to induce firms to hire him or her is to offer to work for a lower wage until enough experience and training has been gained to enable the individual to ask for and receive higher wages in the future. The consequence therefore, of preventing untrained workers from accepting less than the minimum wage, is to prevent them from gaining experience. It is concluded that when wage rates for low skilled labor rise because of a law, firms choose to hire fewer low skilled workers, thus hurting those whom minimum wage laws were designed to protect.
