Universal default insurance on marketed firm level securities
Avoid the pit falls emergent in savings and loan deposits in the 1980s 
Regulate market rates 
Emergent convergence is Elmer Fuddish .....too much of the time
 .....The latest set of Bugs never gets shot let alone killed 
The paradigm of agency now supreme
The age of mechanism
Was sublated by the age of agency 
Probably by 1980 
If not sooner 
But the macro school of new classical 
Quickly assumed away its increase in realism  aka degree of accuracy of
 model simulation 
By setting up single rep agency 
Which is not even simply instantaneous 
Convergence of agent info to a common pool 
That turned macro dynamics into
Meta statics with random real " shocks"

Macro managers need to consider optimal employment as a discovery process
  Pushing the envelope 
With a mark up price cap 
Would use physical shortages as 
The measured index 
We know systemic shortages
Are not optimal
But we have yet to investigate
The zone edge where firm level viewed  shortage and overage are in some fluxuating value ratio 
Are both common simultaneously 
To discover what macro combo is optimal 
Or even how to form such an index 
Different economic class pov's mean different optimal rates of employment
Full has lots of meanings
 Sustainability is the usual 
Tacit qualifier  
But sustain ability measures come with 
Tacit Institutional preservations 
NAIRU was developed
To guide employment policy 
Along lines considered
capitalist corporate
Best long run  outcomes 
So much so
At one point 
We saw  " derived" metrics 
  of over employment 
That ran as high as 15% unemployment

Keynes on flex wage v flex "money policy"
"there is no means of securing uniform wage reductions for every class of labour. The result can only be brought about by a series of gradual, irregular changes, justifiable on no criterion of social justice or economic expediency, and probably completed only after wasteful and disastrous struggles, where those in the weakest bargaining position will suffer relatively to the rest. A change in the quantity of money, on the other hand, is already within the power of most governments by open-market policy or analogous measures. Having regard to human nature and our institutions, it can only be a foolish person who would prefer a flexible wage policy to a flexible money policy, unless he can point to advantages from the former which are not obtainable from the latter. Moreover, other things being equal, a method which it is comparatively easy to apply should be deemed preferable to a method which is probably so difficult as to be impracticable"
Contradictions between the liberal state and democracy
18th century formulation
Benign despotism 
A despotic state party 
Is it incompatible 
with De facto 
 Liberal values 
Mandate of the people ? 
Pay boards and unions
Pay boards are state agencies insuring equal pay for equal work
Unions are wage earners
 Self created 
 organizations
To struggle with 
Firm level management 
  
Use it or lose it : part (n + 1 )
Pay it forward or backward 
That's firm autonomy 
Or build or hire or train 
Use all your surplus 
Or your accounts will be swept
By the state 
Why
Because
 all surplus value 
Like all surplus product 
is a social product 
Autonomy is about use choices  not accumulation choices 
Those are the exclusive function of the state 
As guardian of the social surplus
Under socialism and the mission to exappropriated the private exappropriations

It's now 1993 why isn't stiglitz calling for the same macro as Vickrey
Hey he's at the CEA in fact he becomes chief 
Why no counter attack on the new keynesian
 Paradigm ? 
And the pro corporate profiteer
NAIRU doctrine ?

Lerner markets for equal work equal pay reducing wage dispersion by job category
How could a meta market for wage setting markets be built 
To gradually squeeze out wage dispersion 
While raise wage rates over time for  each job type 
Goal
 a system that over time tended 
To  uniformly 
Equalize ....
system wide wage rates....
  for 
 Identical task bundles 
.............
.....
.
A set of tasks may vary in proportions 
And task unit based rates look daunting 
The point would be to charge a fee for non equal rates for equal work 
Transparency is done qua non
Of course 
But an equal pay board would set 
The categories and monitor compliance 
Imagine a warrant not to comply 
Would have a cost to employers 
Of course paying above norms
 would be rewarded 
Each off setting the other in total 
Hence the warrant exchange 
Much like exports dictating the size of imports

Corporate sector CO ordination markets aka Lerner markets
Price changes 
Employment changes 
Investment changes 
Etc etc 
All fall under Greenwald stiglitz paradigm of firm level 
externalities
And
thus Lerner markets

Hicks v kalecki
Comes down to them two 
   Hicks lays a path to
Corporate 
Capitalist hegemony 
Kalecki to job class liberation 
  Social democracy as a practical political m9vement
Essentially chose the easier non class struggle path 
Hicks 
That leads on to
samuelson
And his opposite 
 FRIEDMAN
