Seems to me the forces that liberated women from being child-bearing grunts were the developments in the uses of expanding capital. Revert to the situation that existed just two or three centuries back, and women, among other survivors, will be back in the hole.

Seems to me you have the cart before the horse. Liberating women from being only ornaments or breeders leads to expanding capital as society stops wasting so many resources. If expanding capital were the engine, women would become liberated in every prosperous country. You can just look at the Mideast to know that's not true.

I'm with you. All this stuff was in papers coming out of think tanks. wish i knew who pulled the levers.

See it now in the gathering forces pushing for or against "net neutrality." Huge money and lotsa brain power behind these major societal moves.

not usually into conspiracy theories, but when the unseen hand is so obviously moving...
