One model, that I might suggest you and Keith feel comfortable with is the basic existing model of capitalism as it is practiced in America and Europe. Basically, income is distributed through work and therefore we need more and more work for economies to grow - without any stated goal of when growth shall be achieved. And with this model, more and more people work harder and longer to satisfy the goal of growth.
I think my recent comments on heredity, and many earlier postings, made it clear that I am quite critical of, and even opposed to, neo-con capitalism and especially the (quaNTitative) growth ideology.
Tangential:
(1) The Christian Science Monitor currently has a "Neocon 101" essay, which purports to describe the basics of neocon.
I was puzzled: The whole essay was about the neocons' foreign policy agenda (pre-emptively destroy every social force on the planet which tries to interfere with US hegemony). THere was not a single word in the whole essay about any domestic neocon agenda.
(2) On the other hand, are European and US capitalism the same? If they are, then I presume all the structurally unemployed from the former East Germany are no longer on welfare, etc.
