Wenzel Makes the Walter Block Required Reading List

Prof. Walter Block has been kind enough to forward this email to me, which he has sent to his students:

Dear  Students: 

Two more VERY good essays on the minimum wage just came in, one pro, one con. Please add these to your list of required readings. 

 Krugman, Paul. 2013; “Raise that wage.”February, 18;http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/18/opinion/krugman-raise-that-wage.html?_r=0  

Wenzel, Robert. 2013. “The Wrong Way to Argue Against Minimum Wage Laws.” http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2013/02/the-wrong-way-to-argue-against-minimum.html 

Second to the Rothbard piece below, the one by Wenzel is just about the best thing I’ve ever seen on this issue.

        Best regards, 

Walter
