{"product_id":"rewarding-work-edmund-s-phelps-9780674026940","title":"Rewarding Work: How to Restore Participation and Self-Support to Free Enterprise, with a New Preface","description":"Since the 1970s a gulf has opened between the pay of low-paid workers and the pay of the middle class. No longer able to earn a decent wage in respectable work, many have left the labor force, and the job attachment of those remaining has weakened. For Edmund Phelps, this is a failure of political economy whose widespread effects are undermining the free-enterprise system. His solution is a graduated schedule of tax subsidies to enterprises for every low-wage worker they employ. As firms hire more of these workers, the labor market would tighten, driving up their pay levels as well as their employment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmund Phelps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674026942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674026940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Edmund Phelps","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946900193535,"sku":"9780674026940","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_63ab4326-b63d-4df8-8af9-3ae7004ad02b.jpg?v=1681515668","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rewarding-work-edmund-s-phelps-9780674026940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
