Mass unemployment is one of the greatest plagues of a modern country. This is just one of the (many) sad side effects.
Too bad the lesson was forgotten globally by the ruling class.
- consonants 13y agoMass unemployment ensures that there is always someone who will trade their labor for the lowest possible price so that they don't starve. It's built into the system, less of a plague and more of necessary requisite for capitalism.
- venomsnake 13y agoNope. Inflation and unemployment are built in. Hyperinflation and big unemployment are tumors. They should be kept in a goldilocks range preferably around 3-4%. If you have labor shortage the economy cannot grow as fast as possible. If you have big surplus - then you have big demand slump that moves you to a deflation spiral.
