Working in the Macro Economy: A study of the US Labor Market / Edition 1

by Martin F. J. Prachowny

Overview

Most macroeconomic theory has focused on goods and money rather than on labour, but this book goes someway to redressing this balance. It examines a wide range of labor-market issues from the perspective of modern macroeconomics. It considers policy issues, as well as theory, and criticises both Keynesian and New Classical approaches.
