Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references (p. 223-262) and index The triumph of the market -- Business moves: markets, nations, and inequality -- Disposable workers -- The low-wage, low skill strategy -- Education: choice, profit, and democracy -- Jobs and job training: the field of dreams -- Poverty and welfare: market as cure or market as cause? -- Democracy in the workplace? -- The government: from client to customer to citizen -- The next deal Faith in the free market - the idea that, for instance, profit-seeking managed care companies will improve the health care delivery system - has become a basic tenet of public policy debate. But as Joel Blau demonstrates in this eye-opening book, so-called "free market" programmes have been a dismal failure, heightening inequality, lowering the median standard of living, and steadily eroding the quality of our social and political life. In Illusions of Prosperity, Blau launches a far-reaching assault on the idea that "the market" knows best. Blau writes that while the share of the national income held by the bottom four fifths of the population (the poor and broad middle class combined) has continued to decline, the top fifth gained 97 percent of the increase in total household income between 1979 and 1994. "Few experiments," Blau comments, "yield such clear outcomes. Although many had hoped to benefit from the new market economy, this affluent fifth is the only segment of the population that truly has."; Blau looks at recent reforms in NAFTA, education, job training, welfare, and much more, showing that the new social policies have made matters worse, because reforms that rely on the market can't compensate for the market's deficiencies. Instead, he calls for a stronger, more caring government to counter the debilitating effects of the market, and he urges the development of the broadest possible political alliances to ensure economic security. Sure to raise controversy, Illusions of Prosperity turns today's conventional wisdom inside out, making a profound case for the importance of a strong government in a world where markets do not have all the answers |

Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1.

But as Joel Blau demonstrates in this eye-opening book, so-called "free market" programmes have been a dismal failure, heightening inequality, lowering the median standard of living, and steadily eroding the quality of our social and political life. In Illusions of Prosperity, Blau launches a far-reaching assault on the idea that "the market" knows best. Blau writes that while the share of the national income held by the bottom four fifths of the population (the poor and broad middle class combined) has continued to decline, the top fifth gained 97 percent of the increase in total household income between 1979 and 1994. "Few experiments," Blau comments, "yield such clear outcomes. Although many had hoped to benefit from the new market economy, this affluent fifth is the only segment of the population that truly has."; Blau looks at recent reforms in NAFTA, education, job training, welfare, and much more, showing that the new social policies have made matters worse, because reforms that rely on the market can't compensate for the market's deficiencies. Instead, he calls for a stronger, more caring government to counter the debilitating effects of the market, and he urges the development of the broadest possible political alliances to ensure economic security. Sure to raise controversy, Illusions of Prosperity turns today's conventional wisdom inside out, making a profound case for the importance of a strong government in a world where markets do not have all the answers 1993 - 2001 fast BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Labor bisacsh Sociale politiek gtt Marktmechanisme gtt Arbeidersklasse gtt Sociale ongelijkheid gtt Inkomensverdeling gtt Commerce extérieur et emploi / États-Unis Libre-échange / États-Unis Chômage / États-Unis Aide sociale / États-Unis Délocalisations (Économie) / États-Unis Usines / Fermeture / États-Unis Salaires / Pays en voie de développement Revenu / Répartition / États-Unis Business relocation fast Economic policy fast Foreign trade and employment fast Free trade fast Income distribution fast Plant shutdowns fast Public welfare fast Unemployment fast Wages fast Entwicklungsländer Wirtschaft Wirtschaftspolitik Business relocation United States Foreign trade and employment United States Free trade United States Income distribution United States Plant shutdowns United States Public welfare United States Unemployment United States Wages Developing countries Wirtschaftspolitik (DE-588)4066493-4 gnd rswk-swf Privatisierung (DE-588)4047297-8 gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaftliche Lage (DE-588)4248362-1 gnd rswk-swf Sozialpolitik (DE-588)4055879-4 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Sicherheit (DE-588)4055732-7 gnd rswk-swf Arbeiterfamilie (DE-588)4002583-4 gnd rswk-swf Marktwirtschaft (DE-588)4037653-9 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Marktwirtschaft (DE-588)4037653-9 s Wirtschaftspolitik (DE-588)4066493-4 s Arbeiterfamilie (DE-588)4002583-4 s Wirtschaftliche Lage (DE-588)4248362-1 s Soziale Sicherheit (DE-588)4055732-7 s 1\p DE-604 Sozialpolitik (DE-588)4055879-4 s Privatisierung (DE-588)4047297-8 s 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-0-19-514606-6 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 0-19-514606-9 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=169159 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
