| Abstract: | This paper casts doubt on the positive effects so often claimed for the recently-introduced national minimum wage (NMW) by its many supporters. It attacks the notion of the minimum wage as a "free lunch", arguing that its effects are often either negative or simply unknown. Those worst affected by its introduction are those the minimum wage most aims to help - the lowest income group. |
