| Description: |
This book provides an up-to-date and well-informed overview of the debate on employment. The contributors ask: is full employment possible? Would it lead to inflation, excess of trade union power, and balance of payment deficits? Is full employment affordable? They face up to these questions and consider what would be involved in a move to much lower levels of unemployment. This is an important and original contribution to current policy debate. |
| Synopsis: |
With the end of the post-war boom in the early 1970s, the world economy has experienced large scale unemployment. From an assumption that the unemployment problem had been solved, and that full employment could be maintained through demand management techniques, we now live in an entirely different world. Any suggestion of a return to full employment is met with questions of whether such a thing is possible, whether it would not lead to inflation or to excessive trade union power, or in the case of individual economies to unsustainable balance of payment deficits. The contributors to this volume ask whether full employment policies would be affordable. Would they lead to yawning fiscal deficits which would in the end require a U-turn in policy with unemployment reappearing? This well-informed and original contribution to current policy debate faces up to these questions and considers what would be involved in a move to much lower levels of unemployment. |
