I haven't read this book yet but it sounds like an interesting title on the concept of securing living (and family) wages in society, ideally voluntarily but I think the author might argue for the government to intervene to do so (and was referenced in an article on the topic, I think as one of perhaps the first books talking about this from this theological perspective).
One of the four serious sins that "cry out to heaven for vengeance" is "defrauding workers of their wages": https://infogalactic.com/info/Sins_that_cry_to_heaven
This is obviously a problem as an individual worker needs to be able to earn a living to survive, and likewise the breadwinner(s) of a family need to be able to earn a living "family wage" in order for their family to survive.
I was curious where people think that wage injustice exists today and what might be done to remedy the problem.
"Wage injustice" exists because of interference in the free market by governments and other large interests. Unions & government policies sent our companies and jobs out of the country. More government is NOT the solution.
I generally like free markets, although I'm not sure this would entirely solve the problem
I've been thinking the problem of "market manipulation" might be a free market equivalent of government regulations; or at least there are some shenanigans I think need to be watched out for in a free market
If I'm willing to sell my bouquet of flowers, and you want to buy a bouquet of flowers, a deal will be made if what I want to sell them for is what you are willing to buy them for. The problems begin when a third party inserts themselves in an otherwise mutually agreeable transaction.
