According to Hochschild, employers owe employees a certain sort of respect as fellow human beings when setting working conditions. What sorts of working conditions fail to take into account an employee's interests/worth/dignity? (Feel free to appeal to "The Glass Floor" document here.) Can such working conditions be ethically justified? If so, how? If not, what are employers required to do?
2. According to Ellis, Hayden, and Rogers, Economic Development Incentives (EDIs) rarely work. What sorts of evidence do they cite for this claim? They have some ideas about why EDIs fail - explain at least one. Are public officials who offer firms EDIs doing something wrong? If so, what? Are firms that demand EDIs from local governments doing something wrong? If so, what?
