Minsky state as employer of last resort humanist gulag or useless as wage spiral regulator
Minsky public job sector PJS
Regulating market mediated job wages
Has to cut PJS COMPENSATION as market mediated compensation rises

TO productive activity
BUT the flows in and out operate as a counter weight to job market dynamics
Improvement over unemployment insurance
Payments that move to counter
The rise and fall of job market conditions

Public firms competing with private firms on
Shared markets
Modern public work houses
