Monetary policy has to support fiscal policy, while reductions in working hours have to be put in place. Such a reorganization of the economic policy is necessary to limit the negative economic consequences of the Covid-19 crisis, but also to move towards full employment, to trigger ecological transition and to reduce the vulnerability of our economies to global shocks. |
