Is Growth the Cure for the Consequences of Growth?

The Revolving Door of Unemployment

by GEOFFREY McDONALD (edits Ruthless Criticism)

 

Last week, the business leaders of America joined President Obama in the White House to show their concern for the unemployed. “We are stronger when America fields a full team,” Obama announced. This is really too much. When the same people who are responsible for unemployment vow to take charge of it, it has to be asked: does “America” have this problem? And what kind of a problem is it when it is said – in all seriousness – there is not enough work?

– Compassionate extortion

– Poverty: a result of economic success

– What labor is socially necessary?

– A revolving door

– “Opportunity for every American”
