![Unemployment is a Deliberate Choice
Unemployment is a Deliberate Choice. Not by the people who are unemployed, but by governments the world over. It is their intention that a significant portion of the community are always unemployed. This comes from a concept called the Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment, or NAIRU.
The idea is that if we dont keep a large pool of people unemployed at all times then inflation will increase. The problem is that NAIRU has never been shown to exist in the real world. As unemployment rates fall the constant warning of inflation gets louder, but even during times of record employment the inflation never materialises.
