Turn it into a Socialist country, lower unemployment than capitalist ones. For zero unemployment, get people to join communes until the Bourgeoisie have no one to exploit, and them and their class antagonism- based system falls apart, then we have a dream. Do you know what it is? hint: _____________________ ### _________________________ #### __________#######__________### # __________######_____________# #### _______######________________# #### _____######__###______________ _#### # ________##_____####___________ __### ## _________________####_________ ___## ### ___________________### #_________## #### _____________________# ####______## #### ________###_____________###### ##### ## ______###_#####___________#### ##### # ___###______######### ########## _#####___________##### ######__#### # ####__________________________ ____### 1

My view on this issue is that, one way is to raise unemployment benefits and reduce taxes for the lower paid worker so that the poorest groups of people have more cash and are able to consume more. This would increase demand which obviously requires a following increase in manufacture for supply which increases demand for workers. 2

And high benefits works in Scandanavia. My opinion is, it's not that benefits are necessarily bad, it's simple benefits that are bad. Benefits should be provisional on looking for work, and should get lower over time. Short, 6 or 12 week training should be available for anyone who is unemployed, on 'how to get a job', and other things like that. Telling people 'work or starve' (which is an extreme form of what you're suggesting) is draconian and should be beneath a developed economy. It is much better to work with the unemployed, and try and help them. Not only from an economic standpoint, but from a humanitarian standpoint also. 1

For workers need to increase their production and otherwise not give their employers reasons to fire or dismiss them due to illegal or work disruptive activity. Some unemployment is also due to workers deciding to leave for personal reasons causing some increase in the employment rate. Many inexperienced newcomers come into the workforce, also driving up those figures. It is, indeed, a complicated issue, to say the least. At its fundamental core, unemployment is either a) A lack of availability for jobs (an excess of workers) or b) A lack of incentive for workers to accept available jobs (workers unwilling to work) I won't get into A as that is an economics discussion I am not knowledgable enough about. But B is quite simple. If people had an incentive to work, they would work. Under our current welfare system, they are incentivized to NOT WORK. So the whole system is counter-productive. So 1) Make welfare temporary. 2) Make ALL government entitlements temporary. 3) Make unemployment benefits more temporary than they currently are. That allows for there to be a net for those who fall into bad circumstances while not incentivizing people to be unemployed. Just my two cents. |
