Carrol,
The serious questions you mention are outside the scope of the
discussion I hope Pen-l will have. I hope for a serious and on-going
discussion of the benefits and economic objections to cutting working time.
Who? and How? are best explored in a separate discussion.
As the Occupiers and others look for policies to correct grievances,
they have advanced a lot of distractions and issues to divide the aggrieved.
End the Fed, create a new currency, cancel student debt, cut balances on
mortgages, etc. My goal is to put a serious and ultimately attainable goal in
front of an audience looking for something to fight for. How the goal would
subsequently be championed and won, I leave to later and others.
