One of the most contentious areas of public and policy debate surrounds economic beliefs. For over 100 years, general economic theory and debate has been entrenched in neo-classic theory. This simply means that capitalism is best served by limited government, also referred to as laisse-faire. For this writer, this stoic approach to policy development has caused more problems than it has solved worldwide.
While working for BellSouth and as editor for a local union newspaper I wrote the following critique of union activity and productivity at BellSouth. It ends with some suggestions to solving the management/union impasse that had occurred during my tenor at the company.

One of the most important issues that modern economies face is unemployment and under-employment. The following is an introduction to one of the more interesting policy recommendations that deal with this issue. The following is an extended response to discussion on the Post Keynesian discussion list. You can join the festivities by contacting http://csf.colorado.edu/pkt/

The following is an uncompleted paper that I am still working on, however, slowly. What follows is the introductory section of the work in progress.
