in addition, in his last book politics against domination , ian shapiro, sterling professor of political science at yale, wrote “created as a branch of the league of nations by the treaty of versailles, the ilo has no enforcement power”. even if the idea of the living wage system seems a priori seductive, it is certain that the ilo could never be able to impose this very complex process on the countries concerned. moreover, the rate of 50% of the median wage of each country, recommended in 2011 by thomas palley in his book from financial crisis to stagnation , main contribution to the subject of global minimum wage written by an renowned economist these last years, is not uniformly adaptable and would not systematically modify the living conditions of workers. take bangladesh and ethiopia, for example, if a textile worker's monthly wage is $65/80, and the median wage does not exceed $130/160 there would be no wage increase, but we have to admit that when thomas palley made his proposals, the economic parameters were different ($18/25 per month in ethiopia and bangladesh in 2010). in book the divide , jason hickel propose to twin with a universal basic income but it seems even more risky. a salary that some poverty-stricken states would not be able to afford to pay to their civil servants, or that businesses manufacturing goods for the local population would not be able to pay to their employees, obviously cannot be accepted. a wage without an economic basis could prove counterproductive. he could destabilize poor nations and worsen the living conditions of individuals. because it is a reality that no entrepreneur in the world is unaware of: in front of each wage increase, it is necessary, unless one wants to initiate a new collectivist model, that there is the corresponding financial resource and if we take the example of the h&m and zara chains, whose 13,000 gigantic stores occupy several tens of millions of square meters that disfigure the most beautiful avenues in the world, this one exists. the two groups invest each year in the opening of 1,000 new stores. by reducing a little these or dividends or increasing the selling price of each article by only a few cents, tens of cents or 1 or 2 euros on more expensive coins, it would be quite possible to pay each worker several hundred dollars a month and the same is true in most industrial sectors. we have to be pragmatic and that is why the ' project only proposes an increase in the wages of workers producing goods and services for export to western markets. under this impetus, other local wages would mechanically increase over the years and the macro-economic effect would reduce poverty. the columnist’s conclusion may seem relativistic when he points to a possible change in future activitie
