Capital Markets and Job Creation in the 21st Century
Recommendation
Professor Jerry Davis adeptly analyzes how capital markets, corporations and employment are intertwined substructures in the US economy and how their interrelationships have changed over time. Post–World War II corporations made capital investment a servant of company growth and stability, producing high-wage occupations. In the 1980s, shareholder value began ruling corporate decision making: Long-term employment eroded as firms moved to outsourcing and then to “labor on demand.” Thus, jobs and corporate missions are at odds today. getAbstract recommends this illuminating exposition to policy makers, business leaders and everyone who has or wants a job.
