      One thing I don't fully understand is why the equilibrium for the demand/supply of labor is not enough to live on. Why does the hiring party get to be more picky (and thus pay less) among potential employees, while employees get to be much less picky in their job? Some theories:

      Maybe 'not enough to live on' is a false premise - maybe the natural equilibrium *is* enough to live on for a subsection of people, and artificially pushing the equilibrium upwards (minimum wage) somehow has spillover effects onto people who need higher pay (like a family)

      Maybe there's something weird specifically with *low* pay labor/demand markets. High paying jobs often do feature very strong employee power - lawyers can make private practices; head hunters try to poach employees, etc. Why is the equilibrium inadequate for low wage categories?

      Maybe there's not enough 'natural' competition among companies at low wages? Just, not enough jobs in general offering entry level positions. If more jobs opened up, employees could put way more pressure on companies, and wages would naturally increase to be competitive.

      Basically, I'm operating under the assumption that the need for a minimum wage is abnormal. The idea that we have to literally ban the option for consenting adults to agree to certain types of exchanges means that something else is very wrong inside the system.

          My priors make me want to guess that regulations that make it difficult for new businesses to pop up, or tax burdens that make it difficult to hire more employees, and lobbying'd laws from corporations that suppress competition, are the real culprits for low equilibrium.

          Look at wages and working conditions during the industrial revolution before mandatory minimum wages and safety regulations. The people who "own" all the means of production have no incentive to treat the lowest classes as anything other than cannon fodder in the workplace.

          Oh, if there was no minimum wage nothing would stop capitalists from maximizing the amount of surplus value they could get from workers and then maybe the system would collapse quicker

          Yes. Correcting the wrong requires implementing basic income (which lets us abolish minimum wage), and shifting the entire tax burden off income and onto land (Georgism). Then people can buy and sell labor as they choose.

          I've sketched this "utopia" here. It would take some doing, but I think it identifies the wrong you're interested in very precisely. http://pangrammaticon.blogspot.com/p/how-to-imagine-utopia.html …

          One thought, probably dumb: min wage law doesn't physically prohibit sub-min-wage work, but gives workers leverage over their employer b/c they can always turn them in. Afaik, the penalty is asymmetric. Presumes leverage redistribution is good... reasonably, imo.

          Good thought. Unfortunately there’s no guarantee that the value of your labor is enough to live on.

          Min wage is an irresistible populist lever for some politicians. I completely agree with your take here: it's just a ban on some consensual exchanges. E.g. How is a person with low IQ and no job exp supposed to attain job skills and exp when they're not yet worth the min wage?

          Leftists would say they're "avoiding exploitation" but to me it just looks like rotting on the couch collecting welfare, when in a different paradigm they could instead be contributing and self-improving.
