We should urgently create a coalition which will think beyond the conventional wisdom. We shall be able to dare to assess the money motive at its true value. The answer is not to be found in a continuation of past ideas. We must see that increases in production and productivity provide the potential for less work and strain rather than more as has been the case throughout the developed world in the last decades. We must think about new ways of allocating resources, dramatically changed life-cycles rather than just reduced hours of work as well as rewarding new types of work such as parenting.
Politicians see the current moment as a crisis.
We need to turn our thinking around so we recognize our incredible opportunity. We need to break the grip of obsolete economic theory and realize the freedoms which can be created by our ever-growing capacity to produce.
