Work
Dr. Albus was notable for his contributions to cerebellar robotics, development of a two-handed manipulator system known as the Robocrane (a crane-like variation on the Stewart platform idea) and for a novel economic concept known as "Peoples' Capitalism". Peoples' Capitalism goes beyond similar ideas of Louis O. Kelso and answers the "how would we live without jobs" question so common in Molecular Nanotechnology discussions.
Albus's vision concerns: a world without poverty, a world of prosperity, a world of opportunity, a world without pollution, a world without war and includes a detailed plan for achievement of same.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“You should go to picture-galleries and museums of sculpture to be acted upon, and not to express or try to form your own perfectly futile opinion. It makes no difference to you or the world what you may think of any work of art. That is not the question; the point is how it affects you. The picture is the judge of your capacity, not you of its excellence; the world has long ago passed its judgment upon it, and now it is for the work to estimate you.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
