Summary: Fighting unemployment provides a critical assessment of free market orthodoxy. There is no simple tradeoff between unemployment and wage inequality. The justification for dismantling the welfare state to fight unemployment rests more on free market ideology than on empirical evidence. Low unemployment can appear in many labor market models, from the free markets of the United States to the regulated markets of Scandinavia. Prevention of very law wages, high earnings inequality, and excessive job insecurity requires strong labor market institutions.
