4. THE REMEDY |
|
4.1
PSEUDO-SOLUTIONS |
The pseudo-remedies don't cease to prolifere. -
For exemple, one says us that the unemployment would be less if one decreased the wages,
and particularly those of the least qualified workers. That would not fail to put in
danger the social peace and is practically impossible. The fact that great international
organizations like OECD, OMC, IMF or the World Bank can recommend such a solution is quite
simply overwhelming. |

It is alsol said to us that it is enough to reduce the working time. In addition to the
fact that men are not perfectly substitutable the ones with the others, such a solution
neglects the indisputable fact that too many needs remain dissatisfied. It is not while
working less that one will be able to face them. Moreover, as the interested parties do
not want to gain less, it will be necessary to compensate for the difference by increasing
overcharges. Where is the advantage ? |
|
-
Others suggest the return to some inflation. To fight against the effects of world
free-trade by a monetary expansion and inflation is an illusion and reflects a major
ignorance of the current situation which does not have anything common with the crisis of
the Thirties. |
|
One can also notice that the recourse to these pseudo-solutions
irrisistibly leads to more and more interventionist and authoritative decisions
who, automatically, lead to increasingly violent reactions. |
