If those Qs are treated in your slides I would love to read them

I've gotta say I'm still not convinced (although, like @_DavidQuentin 's piece it does make you think...) . This feels circular. Set a living wage figure - define wld only accept less if compelled What is it that compels them? The fact that the figure defined is not on offerpic.twitter.com/RtLxA05H2I
Then there is the problem that figure defined is so much higher than prevailing average wage (not just in that industry) - so by definition most people in the economy are working 'under compulsion' -- same approach to tax cld apply to all biz? ( but isnt this just taxing labour?)pic.twitter.com/iCW1LsjIix

Then there is the question to what extent are Northern MNCs direct employers of low wage labour by subsidiaries (rather than in the supply chain). Not so much. e.g. this is data for US MNCs from BEA https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRSSYm5AZQm6Bm2Y0se4EVTYV0dlDgqNEc704ntWK5BsC4MvZHAFFffEN5dAWkcd6ugxWSbJA6aEXaQ/pubchart?oid=394200345&format=interactive …

Well, the proposal involves an allocation of the overall profits and does not involve a change to actual wages paid. You say the incidence of the allocation would be 100% on labor. That’s a good topic for further study, but I think we need an economist for it.

No my point is most companies domestic & international, exporting & selling locally would by this definition be using 'compelled labour', so by the logic should adjust profits for tax of all firms by e.g. 50c per labour hour.
