Michael Taft: "Just as we managed to tame inflation in the 1980s, this decade should be the one that takes full employment seriously once again . . . (to combat growing inequality we need) strong social safety nets, combined with progressive taxation, investment in health and education, and collective bargaining rights, especially in an environment of stagnating real wages . . .employment and equity are the building blocks of stability and prosperity."
