How do you square full employment with market socialism? Full employment and especially a constitutional right to a job really taked the bite out of labor markets and what labor markets do-- 'discipline' labor through fear of poverty ultimately leading to higher productivity and a hard budget constraint. Full employment leads to the 'principal-agent' problem, management has problems getting labor to carry out the necessary tasks. Wouldn't it just be better to abolish the venal labor market altogther?
