The Fight for Fifteen

The book explores the significant movement for a $15 minimum wage, which gained momentum through fast food worker strikes starting in 2012 and culminated in Seattle's landmark decision in 2013. David Rolf combines historical context, economic analysis, and practical insights from his organizing experience to advocate for this wage increase as a remedy for rising inequality in America. He introduces "middle out" economics, emphasizing the role of workers and consumers in driving prosperity, and provides actionable ideas for fostering meaningful change.
