    I wonder if we'll at some point see people in despairing, dying small towns emigrating to vibrant, growing countries without minimum wages.

        I enjoy your discussions on AI and Rationality, but seriously, what vibrant growing countries without minimum wages?

        Most obviously Singapore, the tiny island of economic sanity which also has land value taxes and sane health insurance policy.

        Unfortunately they are too tiny to expand population-wise and let others enjoy their economic sanity.

        Iceland has a minimum wage, and immigration barriers, and a language barrier that AI isn't yet quite good enough to overcome.

        We have pretty high minimum wages in Sweden, and people all over the world are migrating here. And why wouldn't they?

        Competitive with what? Without minimum wage, competition is less fierce.

        There seems to be a dearth of examples. One would think that some state would have already soaked up all the utility if it was really there.
