Could you please explain the term ‘productivity’. It is used a lot in public discourse and never defined within that debate, is this essential public discussion only for economics graduates? I suspect even in economics courses ‘productivity’ means many different things to different people. How much does it relate to neoliberals seemingly prime target of keeping wages down, how much is this concept used to skew the debate by being undefined by the speaker? For such a central concept in public discourse the nuances of this concept need public debate. Can you assist us please? An article on the concept of productivity and its varying angles of interpretation would add greatly to the depth and meaning of the debate in Australia on our economy. After all, we’re all asked to vote on it, more understanding is essential.
