Just to follow up on the previous post about Universal Basic Income - a quick quiz. One of the quotes is from Engels and one is from a Tory minister. Who said what:
By the combined functioning of hands, speech organs, .... men were able to set for
themselves and achieve higher and higher aims. The work of each
generation itself became different, more perfect and more diversified.
or
Mankind is hard-wired to work. We gain satisfaction from it. It gives us
a sense of identity, purpose and belonging … we should not be trying to
create a world in which most people do not feel the need to work.
Its a funny old world isn't it? Marxist or Tory - our 'work', is at the center of their 'moral' universe it seems!
