"A book of great interest." - Kenneth Boulding "A triple hit: an engaging narrative of a century of U.S. economic history . . . an attack on the mythology that high wage rates and government spending reduce unemployment and a critique on wrong-headed public policies since 1930 that have raised unemployment levels." - Anna J. Schwartz,National Bureau of Economic Research "The most comprehensive book ever to appear on unemployment in the United States." - George Gilder,author of Wealth and Poverty "Vedder and Gallaway show convincingly that we need once again to rethink our entire notion of unemployment." - Jonathan R. T. Hughes,Northwestern UniversityMore details
