Anne,
These communities, like my home community, were not
originally single industry communities but were made so
by the loss of the children to the cities and the tendency
for companies like Phillips Petroleum (in my case) to

An interesting post Chris,
I feel like the average driver who wants his "dictulena" car
to get him to and from work while talking to a race car
mechanic about his problems with General Motors.
I believe it is General Motor's purpose to build a universe
where their products are the simplest and w

Does that mean that governments have no real control over unemployment levels?

I concur with Eva's charactearization of the employment situation in the
US. The "high levels of employment" found currently in the US are a cruel
hoax at best and cover up a present and impending tragedy, more
generally.
Community and government tried all sorts
of macro-economic policies such as paying business
to employ the unemployed, financing/nationalisisng
business to employ millions etc.
based on capitalism, it didn't work out,
because it cuts into the profit (taxes) that
keeps the system going. Sort of catc

Sally, yes obviously a Guaranteed Annual Income. And of course the
complete seperation of "work" (what one does with one's time in a
socially and personally meaningful and peaceful way) from one's legitimate
access to goods and services.
It is a long story, which I (and others) have repeated end

In a word, obliquely.

I tend to agree with this sentiment. I also think that it will never go
away...there are people (albeit a small number... I hope) who just
doesn't want to contribute (ie work) and such a system does no one any
good. The welfare society has severe backlash if put in place and long
haul it is ba
Well, I don't think there is a solution
based on capitalist market economy.
For survival, capitalist enterprises have to grow
and have to produce
more and more return for the investors.
This process fails if taxes and brakes are applied
in the name of social and environmental justice.
Therefore
Tom - Thanks for the question. I meant to leave the definition of basic
economic security a bit open, but perhaps it would be helpful to all to
suggest that it might consist of secure access to the necessities of life
(realizing that what are 'necessities' can be forever--not very
usefully--debate
I know there's been some discussion from time to time on this list about
the way Norway, e.g., has been able to provide that security. Perhaps
those who are knowledgeable about that can provide us with some detail
about how it works and/or why it doesn't work as well as it might.
Certainly there
FWers - If we think it's important to ensure basic economic security for
all citizens of the industrialized 'have' nations, what suggestions do you
have as to how this should be accomplished?
