Schwartz,National Bureau of Economic Research
"The most comprehensive book ever to appear on unemployment in the United States." -- George Gilder,author of Wealth and Poverty
"Vedder and Gallaway show convincingly that we need once again to rethink our entire notion of unemployment." -- Jonathan R. T. Hughes,Northwestern University
