BECKER, S.J. 0 Starting from the assumption that after forty-five years the unemploy- z ment insurance program should be examined for its relevance to T modern conditions, this study reviews two original decisions that havez1 VN:\ \ determined the character of the program's financial structure-the cO decision to make each state responsible for its own costs and the 8 decision to make each firm responsible for its own costs. Both de- cisions have stirred controversy throughout the life of the program. The author evaluates the performance of the states in maintaining0 , solvency, the distribution of the tax burden among the states, and the M distribution of the tax burden among employers. This last task in- volves an investigation of the six major effects of experience rating. z The examination of forty-five years of history leads to the con- clusion that the original choices represented wise decisions, which z should be reaffirmed for the future. The book closes with the sum- 0 mary recommendation: Maintain the character of unemployment z insurance as an extension of the wage system by continuing to make unemployment insurance a regular cost of doing business. Joseph M. Becker, S.J., is a professor at Georgetown University and a member of the Jesuit Center for Social Studies. He is vice- chairman of the Federal Advisory Council for Unemployment Insur- ance, in the Department of Labor, and has served as a consultant toMN the National Commission on Unemployment Compensation.
