The enemies of employment: unemployment, fate or necessity?

Summary The back cover states: "Revised and updated by the authors, this book sheds new light on the functioning of the labor market, on how to think about unemployment and on the policies to combat it. No, unemployment is not an inevitability linked to globalization and financial capitalism. No, a good salary is not always the enemy of employment. No, legislation on layoffs does not protect employment. No, training is not the remedy for all the ills of the unemployed. This is what the most recent research conducted in France and in many other countries has taught us. We have not "tried everything" to fight unemployment. Far from it. This book tracks down the enemies of employment and tells us how to bring them down".
