"The Trouble With Child Labor Laws" por Jeffrey Tucker:You might be surprised to know that the laws against "child labor" do not date from the 18th century.

It was the same law that gave us a minimum wage and defined what constitutes full-time and part-time work. It was a handy way to raise wages and lower the unemployment rate: simply define whole sectors of the potential workforce as unemployable.
