re: #515 Expand Your Ground

Even Adam Smith (in the neglected parts of his Wealth of Nations) wrote that a major role of government is to help ameliorate the sense of alienation felt by workers who take part in a system where they produce only one small component and have no relationship to the product or process as a whole.

If all the financiers, bankers, and CEOs in the world actually read Wealth of Nations and really took it to heart, the world would be a much better place.
