Editorial Reviews

Review

”The most comprehensive book ever to appear on unemployment in the United States.”

- George Gilder, author of Wealth and Poverty

”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

”Vedder and Gallaway show convincingly that we need once again to rethink our entire notion of unemployment.”

- Jonathan R. T. Hughes, Northwestern University

”A book of great interest.”

- Kenneth Boulding


Product Description

Redefining the way we think about unemployment in America today, Out of Work offers devastating evidence that the major cause of high unemployment in the United States is the government itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crimes of government against Americans' economic well-being., June 25, 1999
By A Customer
Out of Work, the best economic history of 20th Century America. The authors document the crimes of government against Americans' economic well-being, an indictment of taxation and all the monstrous and stupid things our government has done to us.
