Ruth Ellen Wasem presents a study of the legislative dynamics and contexts of the 1946 Employment Act. She examines the bill not as a singular proposal, but as a package of legislative proposals offered as a comprehensive strategy for full employment. She explores four central elements of the bill: the Federal government's responsibility to ensure full employment when the private sector couldn't, the apparatus for doing this, national economic planning, and the strength of the government's commitment. Several appendices present data, profiles of support for senate and representative bills, and methodology. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
