Austrian school of thought produce a lot of waste, which slows economic power and growth. Recent developments have been the complete failure of quantitative easing to try to stop companies from naturally falling and failing due to the enormous amounts of waste they produce, while paying people more for their labor would remove it.
This shyt is just common sense. The lower your collective wages are, the quicker you reach your saturation level. It's why a no minimum wage policy will ALWAYS fail an ecomomy. When a few companies start falling you will feel the temptation to lower wages, which is a huge mistake. The solution is to let companies come out of the ashes of the failures, which we don't do anymore, and the power of the wages help them to grow to fill the gap quicker. You simply have to pick a minimum and fair wage, and never go under it...ever.
How does Austrian school of economics produce waste, when the basic theory is let the market decide what should be on the market and what shouldn't.
If you want to go into how the market is a faster producer consumer feedback system than central planning and beaurocrats we can do that as well.
Austrian economics doesn't support QE though, that is Keynesian economics. Forcing low interest rates and rewarding malinvestment and creation of bubbles is also Keynesian economics, so your first paragraph as it applies to Austrian economics makes no sense.
You say you are talking common sense, then you spout things that make no sense.
The lower your collective wage, the quicker you reach a saturation level for what, will you explain this.
You say no minimum wage will always fail an economy, but you've yet to explain how it can lower the collective wage, for lets say the US, where the minimum wage is only a salary for less than 4% of the work force. At worst if every minimum wage position dropped, it would account for a neglibable amount of society as a whole to effect the wages, at best you would see higher employment and theoretically higher wages in total. so please explain your assertion a better.
You say a few companies start falling, yet without a minimum wage when the demand for a product falls and the supply stays the same the price drops, this would exist whether minimum wage was present or not, its economic reality. The solution is to steal other people's money in taxes and give it to someone politically connected and showed they couldn't run a company and give them a second chance? That logically makes no sense to me, when the very process of a company failing, if it is a result of the market is the removing of a wasted resource from the market (but here again you are contradicting yourself when you make the early comment about waste).
All that said, non of it has anything to logically or economically do with your closing point about minimum wage. The market should be allowed to decide what is minimum wage without any outside intervention if you want efficiency (you know since you claim you hate waste). Fair wage is determined by the workers who agree to a job and salary, if they agree its fair to them, when it becomes unfair they typically leave or don't accept.
