Description

This critical analysis by Bill Mitchell and Joan Muysken examines how policy makers abandoned full employment as a national government objective. The book traces unemployment theory over 150 years, revealing how the shift from involuntary to natural rate conceptions since the 1960s fuelled ideological opposition to Keynesian interventions. Mitchell and Muysken argue that neo-liberal governments reframed unemployment as an individual problem rather than a systemic policy failure, dismantling the economic arguments that justified this fundamental policy reversal. Essential reading for economists, policy analysts, and anyone concerned with labour market theory and the historical trajectory of employment policy.
