[lbo-talk] OWS Demands working group: jobs for all!

[Max Sawicky]

The relevance of the late 90s bubble is that a) the tight labor market did
not, contrary to the usual boo-birds, result in any inflation worth worrying
about, and b) it could have been duplicated to better effect with deficit
financed public spending.  (See Robert Pollin, "Contours of Descent."  It
was also accompanied by widely distributed wage gains.

What's not to like?
