In the classical model the real wage rate (and not
nominal) of labour is determined by the
intersection of demand and supply curve of labour. In the long run the demand and supply of labour is established at the level where the wage rate of labour is equal to both the Marginal Revenue Productivity and Average Revenue Productivity. Trade unions can not enhance wages without creating unemployment. When rise in wages increase efficiency of workers, wages.
Can be raised without creating unemployment and
inflation. Classical advocated abolishing minimum wages, unions and long – term contracts to increase labour market flexibility. To sum up, according to classical unemployment is a result of high and rigid real wages. According to Keynes, it is not real but nominal wages that are negotiated between employers and employees. Secondly nominal wage cuts would be difficult to put in to effect because of laws and wage contracts. Thirdly, reduction in nominal wages would lead to reduction in consumption spending which could deepen recession.
Fourthly, if wages and prices were falling, people would
start to expect them fall further triggering spiral downward. Reduction in wage is a double edged weapon – it results in cost reduction together with reduction in incomes- consumption expenditure, aggregate demand, expected profits, investment consumer goods industry, capital goods industry and the overall level of economic growth and well being of people. The principal difference between classical and Keynesian system is – the downward inflexibility of money wages at loss than full employment. It is this feature of the Keynesian System which leads to the possibility of an equilibrium at less full employment level.
