Reddit reviews The Oxford Handbook of Panel Data (Oxford Handbooks)

I'll debate you if you can tell me what the minimum wage is in Germany.

Here's a couple starter links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_by_country

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28140594

Then distill for me into a paragraph the effect of that on Germany's business competitiveness. Or whatever the fuck metrics you want. Please address Does the Minimum Wage Hurt Workers?
and The minimum wage has always been bad and will continue to be a bad idea.

If a paragraph isn't enough, take more. Do a thousand or ten thousand words if you want.

I can do it in a sentence: It has fuck-all to do with it.

Let your mocking of me begin.
