Hi everyone, this is my first thread here, and I created this account to ask the libertarian position about the employees rights. I’ve been reading and watching a lot of online libertarian content, I’ve read some Walter Block’s books but still I can’t seem to discover what would happen if there was …

Who says they lack ‘rights’? And what I would want, compared to what options where available back then, have nothing to do with one another.

It began as a mechanism to keep blacks from competing with whites for critical low skill employment that normally turns into higher skill - higher pay employment. (You can get the details at this web site.) It turns a moral contract between a …

Hi Dunklen. Right now, according to the BLS, around 1% of workers are paid minimum wage. Around 97% are paid more than minimum wage. Businesses are always competing for workers.

@OP: Welcome to the Mises forums! It looks like you’re asking the right questions and I wish you the best of luck on your journey. I recommend that you read the following article to get started on this topic: Outlawing Jobs - Murray Rothbard The Minimum Wage is simply no such thing. If the governm…

Of course, bosses cannot violate the property rights of the workers by aggressing …

What would happen if there was no such thing as minimum wage, maximum hours or workers rights? (while were at it why don’t we take away government unemployment insurance too.)
