Introduction

The “Right to Work” movement is a well-known guiding concept in the United States that affirms every American’s right to work for a living without being compelled to belong to a union and pay fees. However, the term, the right to work, originally referred to a progressive call for the right to employment. A recent study conducted by Charles J. Whalen, Baldy Center Research Fellow, examines the calls for a job guarantee and then explains the need to reclaim the “right to work” as a cornerstone of progressive capitalism. This blog contains the critical takeaway points from Whelan's article, “Institutional Economics and Chock-Full Employment: Reclaiming the “Right to Work” as a Cornerstone of Progressive Capitalism.”
