Assuring quality for real is very difficult Chris - any Dilbert book tells the tale of woe, but serious analysis gets there too. Quality systems generally entail a great deal of surveillance to stop people pretending quality. Soviet systems and management by objectives have a lot in common. I think what we fail to address is 'plenty' - something is lost in the weirdness of profit. My question, not well- formed, is how we might move away from feudal relations in a fairer system that relied a lot less on the fetish of consumption. I'm all in favour of efficiency to prevent us having to do unreal stuff, yet we have to guard against free-riding as we try to improve quality of life. My suspicion is that capitalism is now a decadent model that can't cope, but this is no reason to try other failed models. My guess is we don't understand capital and wealth.
