Thank you, The New Press, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Mr. Book just finished Pay The People!: Why Fair Pay Is Good for Business and Great for America, by John Driscoll, Morris Peal, The Patriotic Millionaires.

This book will be released to the public on December 3, 2024.

This book makes an excellent case for why the minimum wage, needs to be increased. And as the book explains, as the minimum wage goes up, so does the rest of employee pay. The book rebuts the major myths of raising it, such as it will force businesses to close, the minimum wage only matters for teenagers, raising it will lead to shifts and job reductions and the free market will solve the problem, it will increase inflation. The book also discusses other important topics such as wage theft and the wealthy’s control of the government.

I give this book an A. Goodreads and NetGalley require grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).

I had previously given Pearl’s book, Tax The Rich!, an A+ in 2021.
