DESCRIPTION:How did the labour market stop working for so many in the work
 force? Why did wages at the bottom and in the middle of the pay scale fail
  to keep up with a growing economy that delivered over 70 per cent product
 ivity gains and soaring incomes for those at the top? What caused this div
 ergence\, and what can we do about it now? The Wage Standard is a deep div
 e into these very questions - questions Arin Dube has explored in over two
  decades of influential research.\n\nPainting a new picture with data\, Du
 be shows us how wages for most workers became painfully frozen. But also\,
  he argues\, this fate was not inevitable\, and more importantly\, that it
  can be reversed. The Wage Standard lays bare how the labour market really
  works\, revealing levers to pull to shift course: to reshape corporate de
 cisions\, rethink policy priorities\, and rebalance economic power and soc
 ial norms to better protect the typical worker.
