Unemployment Insurance Debated by William Utley
The article surveys unemployment insurance from the 1930s debate, tracing European experiments in compulsory and voluntary plans, and criticizing Britain's long-term costs. It notes proposals for a federally funded plan in the United States, with 6 percent wage contributions and 25 weeks of benefits, while highlighting mixed results in Europe and calls for further study before action.
