Description

Explore the evolution of economic policy with Full Employment Abandoned: Shifting Sands and Policy Failures. Published by Edward Elgar Publishing, this book provides a deep look into how the goal of full employment has been phased out by national governments. Authors Bill Mitchell and Joan Muysken analyze the history of unemployment theory over the last 150 years to explain current economic trends. This text examines the transition from viewing unemployment as an involuntary issue to the modern 'natural rate' concept. It explores how this shift has changed the way governments approach economic intervention and why neo-liberal policies often treat unemployment as an individual struggle rather than a result of systemic failure. For students, academics, and professionals in the field of economics and labor studies, this book offers a necessary perspective on the ideological changes that shape today's financial landscapes.
