The Ballot Box (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A bold call for a national plan to put people to work and end poverty.

This pamphlet argues for a Government Employment Law that would guarantee employment at a stated wage, fund public improvements, and use direct taxation to pay for these programs. It lays out a vision of widespread work—building and maintaining roads, public projects, and infrastructure—to absorb idle labor and raise wages across the economy. The tone is practical and persuasive, focusing on how such a law could stabilize demand, reduce poverty, and spur broad-based prosperity without undermining the incentives to work.

- Learn the proposed mechanism: mandatory government employment, wage floors, and how labor demand would be managed.
- See the expected economic ripple effects: higher wages, more purchasing power, and increased production across industries.
- Explore the argument about public works and infrastructure as engines of growth.
- Understand the political framing around voter power and policy change through the Ballot Box.

Ideal for readers interested in economic policy, progressive reform ideas, and mid-20th‑century debates about how to solve unemployment and poverty.
