In today’s episode of Five-Minute Debate, we dive into the ethics of minimum wage laws. Are they a moral imperative to ensure a fair standard of living for all workers, or do they cause more harm by disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations? Two fictitious debaters, Dr. Laura Price, a philosopher and ethicist, and Dr. Michael Anderson, a policy analyst and economist, will tackle the ethical implications of minimum wage laws, with a focus on their correlation to higher jobless rates among young male minorities and potential links to crime. Join us as we explore both sides of this complex moral dilemma.
