Unemployment is at the root of many of the economic and social problems of
capitalism. Some would argue that, instead of tinkering with capitalism, a new economic
system should be sought in which the right to a job as put forward in the United Nations
Universal Declaration of Human Rights is realized. Perhaps in a post-capitalist society
the employment-money link will be severed and a new mode of social and economic
organization will make unemployment extinct and irrelevant. Until such a time,
however, there is no reason not to go immediately to full employment with a guaranteed
public service job for anyone ready and willing to work.
