In writing this book, I increasingly became aware of the extent to
which much of the finest social science research has been devoted
to the issue of unemployment. Unemployment rightly is a key issue
in the social sciences for search of social and political answers
to the economic, social and psychological distress caused by un
certainty and macroeconomic change. I was glad to find my own
worries shared by eminent and respected scholars: George Akerlof
once confessed to pursue the study of unemployment ultimately
because of his father's distress from fear of un employment, and
Wout Ultee started research on unemployment from the consid eration
that parents' talk about unemployment risks should not come to
dominate marriage parties or other family occasions. The problem of
unemployment is thus hardly confmed to actual loss of income, but
one where economic insecurity be gins to undermine the very fabric
of society. In consequence, to combat unem ployment should indeed
be a foremost issue in societies striving for freedom and justice
for their citizenry, yet to succeed obviously requires an
understanding of the underlying economic realities. If this study
could contribute to this endeavor, all the time spent in writing
would seem well spent indeed. Against the significant body of
existing social science research on unemploy ment, it seems
appropriate to be clear about the scope and limitations of the cur
rent study, however."
