‘Full and good employment’ and reviving the European ideal

Laura Pennacchi, 92019), “‘Full and good employment’ and reviving the European ideal”, Social Europe, 4 Απριλίου

Treating employment as a right to be guaranteed by the state, as postulated in many European constitutions, is radically different from the paternalistic alternative, focused on providing monetary benefits to those lacking work. Bringing the centre of gravity back to employment and rejecting the purported inevitability of the jobless society intrinsic to the spontaneous functioning of capitalism—the fallacious argument many use to support ‘citizen income’—also raises the possibility of dealing with questions of inequality, not merely as a problem of redistribution but also as primarily concerning the productive sphere.
