Revaluing Low-Wage Work: Service-Sector Skills and the Fight for 15
In: Review of radical political economics, Band 49, Heft 1, S. 5-29
ISSN: 1552-8502
Labor and community activists have organized around raising wages for low-wage workers, notably through the "Fight for 15" campaign among fast food workers. This study uses skills data together with manager survey data to estimate occupational wages. Quantile regression was used to estimate a skills-based wage. The analysis provides empirical support for a US$15 an hour minimum wage. The results indicate that low-wage workers possess skills that are undervalued in the labor market.

Exploring New Directions for Research in the Radical Political Economy of Consumption
In: Review of radical political economics, Band 39, Heft 2, S. 257-283
ISSN: 1552-8502
The sphere of consumption and the behavior of consumers has been a neglected area of investigation by radical political economists. The production/consumption duality is examined with special reference to Marx. Postmodern Marxism is offered as an alternative with which to examine consumer activities. Furthermore, insights and methods of analysis from the social construction of technology (SCOT) and feminist theory are investigated. These approaches can help to reclaim the terrain of consumer behavior for heterodox economics.
