Wage Policies and Funding Strategies for Job Guarantee Programs

Philip Harvey

Chapter 2 in The Job Guarantee, 2013, pp 39-58 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As the contributions to this volume illustrate, most of the scholarly literature produced in recent years on the subject of job guarantees has been produced by people working within the Keynesian/post-Keynesian theoretical tradition. Within this theoretical framework, a job guarantee is seen as an economic measure that promises to remedy a critical weakness in conventional Keynesian aggregate demand management policies. That weakness is the inability of those policies to achieve full employment—and the benefits associated with it—without sacrificing price stability.
