Is this really feasible in a globalized economy? If wages were constantly forced higher wouldn't companies simply offshore increasing amounts of their labor or headquarter in another country?



I don't know how you could enforce this. But as I wrote before, as long as the elite keeps capturing all gains from productivity for themselves, demand will stay low.

Maybe there are tax schemes that encourage paying higher wages but I don't know.
