Economic Growth and Full EmploymentJeff Madrick challenges the conventional wisdom that balanced budgets lead to economic growth. In Madrick's perspective, policies that increase wages and boost demand are not merely a matter of social justice, they also enhance growth. Tom Palley presents compelling evidence that full employment is a necessary condition for broadly shared prosperity. He demonstrates how in today's global economy, fiscal, monetary and exchange rate policy all need to be directed toward full employment.
