Policy:
Although the paper is in part about trade union influence, the argument of wage-driven versus profit-driven economies makes a lot of sense - in mostly urban and largely industrialized societies.
Is it even more true in small urban and rural economies (without supermarket chains) and without unions?
And what, if GDP is not used as the main economic growth indicator but health, food security, education, well-being?
Can or must policy replace or simulate trade unions in less organized societies?
Just some thoughts accompanying an interesting perspective presented with concrete data.
