    Rottenberg, Simon

    Industrial & labor relations review, 07/1962, Volume: 15, Issue: 4
    Journal Article

    Proponents of socialist or centrally planned economies often assert that their systems of resource allocation and utilization banish the great scourge of capitalist economic organization, unemployment.

In general, its author finds in the absence of market-determined prices in allocating labor that the probability of full employment in socialist economies is small. (Author's abstract courtesy EBSCO.)
