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.
