I suspect this view is shared by most of this community, although I haven't seen any discussion of it.
Why do you suspect this, despite your avowed lack of evidence bearing on the matter?
The Wikipedia article gives the theoretical argument against, which is basic microeconomics, and some empirical studies on the matter, and describes some alternatives. The studies are all statistical and appear to be of marginal significance, making relevant the now well-known criticism of medical studies.
Does anyone have anything to add beyond that article?
Why do you suspect this, despite your avowed lack of evidence bearing on the matter?
2 reasons:
1) Due to a general correlation between the views I have seen displayed here, and the views of those I know are supportive of minimum wage laws
2) Because a) I view this community as more-rational-than-average and b) I have not yet been exposed to many arguments against the minimum wage that were not either irrational, or based on completely different moral principles to those I have seen here.
Obviously, by posting this discussion post, I hope to discover whether my beliefs are inaccurate, by deliberating exposing myself to more rational arguments AGAINST the concept.
The concept of minimum wage is one I'm rather attached to. I have dozens of arguments for why it helps people, improves the world, etc. etc. I suspect this view is shared by most of this community, although I haven't seen any discussion of it.
I don't have much understanding of the harms that minimum wages cause; and at what level of minimum wage those harms become relevant (ie. a minimum wage that would not be a living wage even working 24 hours a day is unlikely to have any of the same problems that a minimum wage sufficient to buy an aircraft carrier an hour would have)
So what are the harms that such laws cause?
