The Living-Wage Movement
Progressivism is a philosophy that has bred many great ideas about how to structure our society and government, but it is not infallible. Thus, I wrote this article about the misguided nature of the living-wage movement, which is a typically well-intentioned initiative that nonetheless is seeking a wholly implausible solution to poverty. Let me know what you think.

That's a really interesting point. As a democrat, it's pretty easy to blindly embrace the Living Wage movement.
ReplyDeleteAnother important thing to address when addressing poverty is unaffordable healthcare. I just got out of three days of training for a local nonprofit that works with homeless families, and I learned that apparently unaffordable healthcare is one of the four leading causes of homelessness.
Congrats on getting published!
