Conceptions Of Fairness And The Fair Labor Standards Act, Seth D. Harris
Conceptions Of Fairness And The Fair Labor Standards Act, Seth D. Harris
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
This article uses the history of the Fair Labor Standards Act's minimum wage provisions to examine how statutes that benefit interests that are comparatively weak in the political market become law. The article tracks the history of the American debate over fairness in wages beginning with the demise of slavery through the passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938 in search of an answer. The search yields two answers. The first answer is that bargaining power is dynamic, not static. The article discusses the socio-economic crises and effective political advocacy by living wage proponents that changed the political …

Individual Rights And Collective Rationality: Some Implications For Economic Analysis Of Law, Bruce Chapman
Individual Rights And Collective Rationality: Some Implications For Economic Analysis Of Law, Bruce Chapman
Hofstra Law Review
In recent years there has been much discussion of two theorems in economics that relate individual rights to Pareto optimality. In the area of law and economics, Ronald Coase is well known for demonstrating that in a world without transaction costs bargaining will always result in a Pareto-efficient outcome, whatever the initial distribution of rights.
