The "Hamilton Project" is offering a total of $25,000 in prize money for "the best proposals to create jobs and enhance productivity." I've posted the award info at ecological headstand along with a counter-challenge and my latest historical research on the genesis of the lump-of-labor fallacy.
Thanks to Google's project of scanning and uploading millions of documents, I've managed to suss out the locus classicus for the shadowy lump-of-labor fallacy claim (or 'lumpus classicus'). It turns out to be from the testimony of a Manchester manufacturer, Peter Ewart, before the 1833 Royal Commission on Employment of Children in Factories, which was restated in a pamphlet written by the commission examiner, E.C. Tufnell. http://ecologicalheadstand.blogspot.com/2011/02/april-fools.html -- Sandwichman
