TALK BY AARON BENANAV
Aaron Benanav's current research examines the global forces giving rise to both an oversupply of labor and an underdemand for labor, worldwide. He has developed a theory of "surplus populations" to explain the consequences of persistently slack labor markets for working people, who have to work even when no steady work can be found.
