We have published a new text: Economics 101: Immigrants suppress wages

When a firm fires its employees because it can find cheaper labour elsewhere, this somehow gets translated into a discussion about those people who are the objects of the same calculation. This way, the subjects of hiring, firing and wage levels – the employers – are exempt from criticism of their calculations. Arse about face.
