Subject: RE: BS: Capitalism has outlived its usefullness
Well I certainly think that there are very many people who want to work, or want more work, and don't find those opportunities. Some very ambitious and creative ones could create their own opportunities, but most of us are probably not going to for various reasons. There are also many people who are working 8 or 10 or 12 hours a day who would love to cut back to 6 or maybe 4 with young children (or zero), but can't because of the beneifts situation, or lack of part-time opportunities, or need to stay in the job market for security reasons. I don't think capitalism is for everyone and I don't think socialism is for everyone but some sort of mix, leaning heavily towards capitalism but regulated to prevent abuse etc. mg
