Look, the upshot of the whole thing is that we’re talking about companies that are owned by those individuals who have invested in it and the decision to hire or fire rests with that company’s management. If this prof. wants to test his theory let him get elected CEO of a company and put his theories into practice. Unfortunately, we are living in an age where the government has the power, through the courts, to force companies to do the bidding of those who have nothing to lose should the company fail.

You are making one big assumption which I am not sure I agree with which is this --- only by being the CEO of a company can one really determine whether the use of layoffs to increase sustained company profitability is realizable. A CEO of ONE COMPANY does not represent a whole industry or economy.

I am not going to dismiss the careful study of research institutions just like that. I'd rather someone REFUTE the methodology of the study and point out its flaws.
