The unemployed will one day become the great masses of rebellion – possibly even violent rebellion, as is already happening in many parts of the under-developed World.<br /><br />"What to do? To [change the world], try the Guaranteed Basic Income. (http://southerncrossreview.org/56/basic-income.htm) This involves the separation of income from output, and transforms work from a financial necessity to voluntary activism. Sound weird? Right, I agree. But once you begin to think about it more, it becomes the only rational alternative to permanent unemployment."<br /><br /><br />Either that, or reduce the length of the working week.<br /><br />With all the crises coming to a head these days, as though we were living in a giant Seinfeld episode, maybe the time is finally ripe for a great change. But much worse might things get before that? Your description of the [in]justice system is a sad sign.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473326737299320884noreply@blogger.com
