    E The availability of unemployment benefits. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Classical economists believe that wages and prices are flexible and will adjust to clear markets. If there is unemployment, wages will fall, leading to increased demand for labor and eventually full employment. This is in contrast to Keynesian economics, which emphasizes the role of government intervention to achieve full employment.
