Subject: Re: This slowdown in Canada’s economy suits the Bank of Canada just fine, Kevin Carmichael, December 1, 2017
- http://www.macleans.ca/economy/economicanalysis/this-slowdown-in-canadas-economy-suits-the-bank-of-canada-just-fine/
- Today's unemployment rate of 5.9% is nowhere near "the lowest levels on
record" nor "as good as it ever gets". Unemployment after WWII until the
mid-1950s averaged less than 3%, and had dropped to 1.4% during WWII itself.
However, business and financial elites are happy to erase history, and to
normalize higher rates because for them a slightly recessed economy delivers
numerous benefits.
- Higher unemployment means less pressure on wages that reduce the profit
share. It also means less inflation that erodes accumulated wealth. And if the
workforce is induced to borrow to maintain lifestyles, not only is another
stream of financial income created, but the debt burden keeps workers obedient
through fear of losing their jobs.
- Through its fiscal and monetary settings, the federal government always
chooses the level of unemployment. Unfortunately the current choices benefit
those at the top and sacrifice those at the bottom.

- "Further, in order to reduce the rate of unemployment and eventually the
deficit in the longer term it is necessary to greatly increase the gap between
government expenditure and revenues.
- This is clearly what happened during World War II when the deficit rose from
less than 1 percent of the GNE in 1939 to 21.7 percent of the GNE in 1944. The
unemployment rate fell from 11.4 percent to 1.4 percent during the same period."

- "Elites obviously don't want to completely tank the economy. But it
certainly works
for them if it stays modestly stagnant, maximizing the growth of the pie
while minimizing worker bargaining power."
