We’re at the end of an era. Right now our principal challenge is the construction of a new model of how people work and how they get the basic necessities of life. We’re no longer talking about a minimum wage. We’re talking about a guarantee of what society provides to us as we contribute to society. How do we distribute the wealth that is generated by the working people? Everyone has to set the task of solving the problem before us.
Knowing the experience of what happened in the past is absolutely essential, but the difficult part is to describe the vision of what we don’t see yet. Right now we need to create that vision and then build society around the model of elevating every human being to the level of a thinking designing person.
