Book Summary
How can we reduce unemployment? As this insightful and counterintuitive book
shows, the surprising answer is inefficiency. Some of the most labor-intensive
sectors of the economy, the author notes, are also the most inefficient. But
this inefficiency is functional—rather than impairing the economy, it bolsters
employment and fosters economic growth.
Technological progress increases efficiency and reduces the need for workers in
manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and many services. So how do we keep people
working? By maintaining inefficiencies in other areas, such as in our systems of
transportation and healthcare. The author documents the waste of time and money
in hospital systems, the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, automotive
travel, road
