abstract: 'The ecological macroeconomics literature has developed models, which
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
outline the transition from today''s growth-dependent economies to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
post-growth systems where output can be stabilized to limit resource
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
con-sumption while good living conditions and high employment are
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ensured. Working time reduction plays a pivotal role in those
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
transitional strategies to relax the trade-off between economic growth
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and unemployment. This analysis contributes to the research by
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
developing a macroeconomic model where, in contrast to the existing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
models, a sufficient profit rate is the precondition of any
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
private-sector economic activity. It is shown that under such
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
assumptions working time reduction is not enough to stabilize output but
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
is a threat to macroeconomic stability. To make the post-growth
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
transition successful, working time reduction must go along with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
supporting economic policies and macroeconomic governance including
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
public investment, which controls the private -sector profit rate to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
avoid instability and unemployment.'
