Imagine a contraction has occurred but is now over and the system stabilized Might certain "players " in a for profit game refer to keep the pressure on weak competitors? Ie not rapidly refloat the production system and the commercial system Even the financial system might have a core of strong firms that prefer hard times ...for now Strong firms might prefer a shake out period once the contraction is over In this light Perhaps instead of calling for more employment we need to appeal to corporate self interests Call for more profits A faster bigger recovery means more profits ...no? If yes then prove it and sell it baby sell it BUT if you can't prove a faster bigger recovery would be more profitable If in fact your devised model proves just the opposite If a stag is indeed at lesst for now ...more profitable ...then maybe you know why a faster bigger recovery isn't happening Of course this exercise would be played out in wonderland A battle of toy models We would still require a leap of conviction to take hold But at least the debate would reach to possible conflict of class interests no? Yes a faster bigger recovery is good for the job class But is it better for the profit
