Unemployment: Cruel, Wasteful, Unnecessary
_on ECONOMIC UPDATE with Richard D. Wolff
On this week’s show, Prof. Wolff criticizes unemployment – as a specifically capitalist irrationality – and advocates “re-employment” as a far better policy. Gov’t jobs and worker-coop development are key means for re-employment. Very socially necessary jobs are detailed that further encourage re-employment, instead of unemployment.
Each show wraps up with Professor Wolff answering some questions that he receives through his website or on Facebook. Economic Update is in partnership with Truthout.org.
