Nearly all economists reject monopsony rationale for doubling the minimum wage! @NeumarkDN: countering employer market power over 1/3rd of the workforce with a higher minimum wage is supposed to increase employment and output. Monopsony depresses wages and employment.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
