Yoksullukla mücadelede minsky'nin kamu istihdam stratejisi

Minsky, Keynes 'in vizyonundan hareket ederek, kapitalist sistemin tam istihdamı, adaletli gelir dağılımını ve finansal istikrarı sağlamada başarısız olduğunu ileri sürtmektedir. Minsky, bu kusurlara sahip kapitalist sisteme yönelik analizinden hareketle "zenginliğin paylaşıldığı kapitalizm " modelini savunmaktadır. Bu modelin temel politika bileşenleri; yoksullukla mücadelede kamu istihdamı stratejisi, sermayenin (özellikle rantiyenin) gücünü sınırlandıran gelirler politikası ve finansal reformlardır. Minsky, bu radikal önerileriyle ana akım iktisadi yaklaşımlardan büyük ölçüde farklılaşmaktadır. Bu çalışma Minsky 'nin yoksullukla mücadelede kamu istihdam stratejisini analiz etmektedir. Ayrıca, çalışma yaşanan küresel finansal krizin, artan yoksulluk ve işsizliğin, adaletsiz gelir dağılımının Minsky 'nin uzak görüşlülüğünü haklı çıkardığını da göstermektedir.

Minsky''s public employment strategy against poverty

bstract: Minsky, following Keynes's vision, asserted that capitalism has essentially failed to provide full employment, equitable distribution of income and financial stability. Minsky, based on his analysis on capitalist system with such deficiencies, maintains a capitalist model of shared prosperity. In his model, Minsky proposed a combination of a government (an employer of last resort) employment strategy for eliminating poverty, income policies for reducing the power of capital (euthanizing rentiers), and financial reforms. Minsky's approach differs to a great extent from the mainstream economics by those radical proposals. This paper analyses Minsky's public employment strategy against poverty. Furthermore, the study argues that the recent financial crisis, pushing upward poverty, unemployment and inequitable distribution of income justify Minsky's farsightedness.
