摘要

W.H. Hutt’s analysis of labor market institutions informed the rest of his analysis, particularly his understanding of consumers’ sovereignty, his criticism of the South African color bar, and his post-colonial constitutional political economy. We explore Hutt’s conviction that the strike-threat system protected affluent special interests from consumers and competitors rather than protecting workers from rapacious employers. Furthermore, we describe Hutt’s constitutional escape via explicit payments to buy out special interests. We close with thoughts on Hutt’s legacy for the twenty-first century.
