The Social Credit List

I received an interesting email from Curtis Priest through the Post-Careerist newsgroup:

"Around 1920, C.H. Douglas (of England) wrote a famous book entitled Social Credit. There is a 'social credit' list

The cross-over to this list? Douglas thought that workers were forever in a loop, perhaps he would say "rat-race." And, he recognized the spirtual side of mankind, and wondered why, with so many "labor saving" technological advances, that people still had to work 40-60 hours a week!  (I don't think he even imagined the "double-income family."  :)

So, he imagines a world where time, above that required for subsistence, might serve more spiritual uses -- whether fishing for the challenge of it, or what."

Sounds a bit utopian to me, but you can dream I guess.
