We also draw on the experience of the European Union and on the more recent experiment of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in Europe. We start with a consideration of the relevance of Kalecki’s view on the objection to government involvement in manipulating aggregate demand. 18 Philip Arestis and Frank Skuse Objection to government involvement in manipulating aggregate demand The first element of Kalecki’s argument concerns capitalist anxiety at losing the disciplinary effect of unemployment if the state succeeds not only in achieving full employment but also in maintaining it.
This is entirely due to the ‘power of vested interests’ upon which Kalecki placed so much importance. More recently Kaldor (1983a) gave support to these ideas when attempting to throw some light on the reasons behind the objection to Keynesian economic policies. He too contended that the changes in the power structure of society, which came about as a result of Keynesian economic policies, were responsible for the antagonism towards these ideas. These constraints on economic policies are viewed by Kalecki (1943b) as being rooted in the objections to full-employment by the ‘industrial leaders’ or oligopoly capitalists.
However, what Kalecki does appear to be suggesting is that a period of sustained full employment will have a significant impact on both inflationary pressures and the difficulty of maintaining discipline. ‘Political Aspects of Full Employment’ 19 Associated with the relocation of the causes of unemployment within the labour market itself has been a systematic attempt to limit the rights of organized labour in the UK. This too is at least consistent with Kalecki’s argument as to the desire of capital not to be party to a shift in the balance of power unless of course it is in their favour.
