Doug Henwood misquotes my post and then asks, >And what's so new about this? > >For another view, see http://www.panix.com/~dhenwood/Work.html Doug, With all due respect, if you're going to react to a message, read it first. I didn't write the words you quoted, B.C. Premier Glen Clark said them. I reported that Glen Clark said it. The only thing that's new about it is that the premier of a Canadian province is talking about work time reduction and redistribution as part of the long term solution to unemployment. I don't agree with everything that Glen Clark says, Glen Clark doesn't endorse everything that Rifkin says, and I don't endorse Rifkin's apocalypticism. And, besides, what's so new about your April 1996 critique of Rifkin?
