摘要

英国最低工资的例子说明了在劳工立法过程中思想和利益的相互作用。在20世纪80年代，剑桥学派与应用经济系(DAE)合作，采用务实和数据驱动的方法，提出了一个最低工资的案例，它结合了公平和效率的理由。通过与工会和智库的合作，这一论点被动员成一场积极的运动，改变了对最低工资的政治看法。在上世纪90年代，随着1998年《全国最低工资法》(National Minimum Wage Act)的通过，一种更为传统的经济学观点似乎宣告了这场运动的失败。然而，从长远来看，剑桥商学院提出的理由经受住了考验，为今天的全球生活工资运动提供了依据。剑桥学院，应用经济系，国家最低工资法案，国家生活工资，低收入委员会

Failing to Succeed? The Cambridge School and the Economic Case for the Minimum Wage

The case of the British minimum wage illustrates the interplay of ideas and interests in the making of labour legislation. In the 1980s, the pragmatic and data-driven approach of the Cambridge School, associated with the Department of Applied Economics (DAE), advanced a case for the minimum wage which combined fairness and efficiency justifications. Through collaboration with trade unions and think tanks, the argument was mobilized into an activistled campaign which changed political perceptions of the minimum wage. During the 1990s the campaign looked to have failed, as a more conventional economics informed the passage of the National Minimum Wage Act 1998. In the long run, however, the case made by the Cambridge School has endured, to inform today’s global movement for a living wage.
