The reason for all production is wages.
Sometimes, people seem to forget it.

Arthur,
Thanks for this notice. There is, however, so much confusion
in this conference between work and employment, and
workplaces and employmentplaces, that I wouldn't think it
could be very useful.
Notice how they use "work" and "employment" as though they
were synonymous and use "workplaces" to describe what are
really just employmentplaces. Their "e-work" is really just
"e-employment" -- paid jobs in the monetized labour market?
Rather than "The World, The Workplace and We, the Workers"
the conference might better be entitled "The Global Economy,
The Employmentplace, and We, the Employees."
Members of the futurework list could never make such
elementary mistakes could we?
I wonder what other members of the list might think about
this.
Yours provocatively (and, I trust, constructively)
Gail
