工资的真相

According to the simple concept of "distribution according to work," people usually believe that there is an objective standard that determines wages, meaning that compensation depends on work performance and job characteristics. Performance bonuses help motivate employees, lawyers should earn more than teachers, and executives naturally earn more than ordinary employees. But does such common sense really hold water?

The author of this book, Rosenfeld, uses cutting-edge economic research, original survey data, and a journalist's keen insight to sharply deconstruct myths about wages and reveal a subversive truth: wages are not determined by objective value, but are deeply manipulated by four invisible factors: power, inertia, imitation, and fairness. He further explains in the book how these four factors intertwine to influence income distribution.

In an era where workers' bargaining power is continuously weakened and income inequality is increasingly exacerbated, whether you are a professional seeking fair wages or a manager hoping to optimize the compensation system, this incisive investigation into the truth about wages will help you better grasp workplace psychology and reshape your fundamental understanding of "labor value."
