U t A critique At lower rates of unemployment (U < U min ), accelerating inflation sets in as workers bargaining strength increases. However, by accepting a lower bound to unemployment, heterodox theory itself can come under attack for accepting a limit to policy intervention. With increased monopolisation and unionisation, space for policy intervention gets constrained (U min ).
