Böcker av Thorsten Schulten

This book considers the role of both wages and unions in economic theory, asking whether wages are merely a mechanical outcome of the economic process or a political variable subject to influence by organized labour?

This book offers a labour perspective on wage-setting institutions, collective bargaining and economic development. Sixteen country chapters, eight on Asia and eight on Europe, focus in particular on the role and effectiveness of minimum wages in the context of national trends in income inequality, economic development, and social security.
