A global minimum wage of one dollar per hour would banish to the history books the worldwide scandal of degrading poverty, taking with it a whole load of other problems: the refugee crisis, malnutrition, military conflicts and the destruction of our environment.
All humanity could benefit hugely from the first real global socio-economic miracle. This kind of minimum wage would more than double the income of over a billion people from one day to the next. The money would go towards more and better food, as well as towards increased access to energy and the digital world.
The poor would suddenly have much better development prospects in their homelands, improving our economy and society. Georgios Zervas and Peter Spiegel illustrate why a global minimum wage is not only desirable but entirely realistic.
