The book explores the historical evolution of state wage supplementation policies, tracing their journey from initial prohibition in the 1830s to their acceptance in the 1970s. It delves into the debates surrounding these practices and highlights how societal opposition was eventually overcome, leading to the enhancement of wages for low-paid workers. Through this examination, it sheds light on the implications of state intervention in labor markets and the ongoing discussions about economic equity.
