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.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“An ordinary man will work every day for a year at shoveling dirt to support his body, or a family of bodies; but he is an extraordinary man who will work a whole day in a year for the support of his soul. Even the priests, men of God, so called, for the most part confess that they work for the support of the body.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“All too soon these feet must hide
In the prison cells of pride,
Lose the freedom of the sod,
Like a colts for work be shod,”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (18071892)
“And men left down their work and came,
And women with petticoats coloured like flame.
And little bare feet that were blue with cold,
Went dancing back to the age of gold,
And all the world went gay, went gay,
For half an hour in the street to-day.”
—Seumas OSullivan (18791958)
