Should the U.S. Federal Government Raise The Minimum Wage?

For some Americans it seems difficult to believe that increasing the minimum wage could be good for business, that it could increase the number of jobs, lower the unemployment rate, reduce crime, and be a boon for business. It seems simply logical that if you increase the cost of labor, prices will have to rise, jobs will have to be cut, and people will have to lose their jobs. But the world isn't simple, least of all in America, and evidence is mounting every week that it is long-past time to increase the minimum wage to $10 per hour, for the good of the millions of Americans who make the lowest legal wage, and for the country as a whole. Read this book with an open mind, evaluate the evidence, consider the reasoning – that's all anyone can ask.
