Jobs! Jobs!' but in practice these promises quickly fall by the wayside. \u003cem\u003eThe Goals of Macroeconomic Policy\u003c\/em\u003e asks why. It begins with the observation that there is no convincing economic argument that full employment should be the primary objective of economic policy in all circumstances. In the light of this it examines whcy policy has failed so consistantly. It explains this by a theory of the labour market which shows why most workers are happy to operate in a way which militates against full employment. It then proceeds to analyse the rather dire consequences of this for the budget deficit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Prachowny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415107636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415107631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.72h x 5.90w x 0.77d","brand":"Martin Prachowny","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064867303679,"sku":"9780415107631","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1fd4e907-bb0f-43eb-93c6-526c23a2e50e.jpg?v=1768671566","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-goals-of-macroeconomic-policy-martin-prachowny-9780415107631","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
