Vigorous and forceful when necessary. The Labour Institute for Economic Research and its predecessor as stimulators of public debate 1971–2011

The Labour Institute for Economic Research was founded in 1971. The institute’s name was changed in the 1990s to Palkansaajien Tutkimuslaitos. This work describes the institute’s phases and development into a shared producer of knowledge for the entire wage-earner community. At the same time, the publication recounts the turning points in the economy and economic policy during these decades. What represents continuity is the important role of the Labour Institute for Economic Research and its predecessor in public debate.

A small institute can be vigorous and, when necessary, forceful — still. (AI translation)
