Editorials
From the Publisher
"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,
