Just Around the Corner: The Paradox of the Jobless Recovery

More about the book

Challenging the long-held belief that economic growth equates to job creation, Stanley Aronowitz offers a critical analysis of the American economy over the past thirty years. He argues that unemployment and underemployment have become permanent fixtures, driven by a historical trend of economic austerity benefiting the wealthy. By examining cultural and political narratives around economics, Aronowitz presents a concrete plan to ensure employment and living wages for all, making this work a vital resource for understanding and addressing current economic challenges.
