The primary purpose of production is consumption, not employment. Employment of course is a perfectly good purpose, and governments need to spend more on infrastructure etc., but if you integrated both infrastructure spending and direct monetary gifting to the individual there would be even more employment than there would be with infrastructure spending alone. And if you also had a policy of discounting retail prices with a government monetary authority rebating all of those discounts back to participating merchants along with both government infrastructure spending and a direct monetary supplement to the individual how roaringly strong, non-inflationary and stable could the economy be?
