Contents: A very relevant read given our current economic condition. Published in 1957, the goals of full employment were noted then, as they are now, to be the primary goal of economic policy. It is interesting in the book how they actually phrased the goal. They state the primary goal of economic policy "is the prevention of mass unemployment," rather then"sustainable full employment" - interesting. Part I: The Meaning and Measurement of Unemployment and Full Employment. Part II: The Behavior of Unemployment. 605 pages.
