On the minimum wage hike

"Each semester I ask my principles-of-economics students if they think that I would rejoice if Uncle Sam passed a minimum-salary statute for economists, mandating that every economist hired be paid at least $300,000 annually. I then explain that my more talented and accomplished colleagues, such as Tyler Cowen, Gordon Tullock, and Walter Williams, would surely benefit. I, in contrast, would lose my job."
