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
In recovering Spain

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
