"I would like to think that the future of mankind is more than slavish observance to economic efficiency" Only those nations that act according to non-monetary values are capable of caring for their own. In the US since the 80's relentless pursuit of economic efficiency, globalization and financial "innovation" has only widened the gap between rich and poor. That is a demonstrable fact. Jim

Yep Dan.. that's the point I'm trying to make.. Maybe there are a few warped individuals on this thread who see no problem with child labor, sweat shops, or generally treating labor as a expendable commodity. No need for benefits.. No vacation or days off. Just pay the least amount of money possible to attract that labor element. And if they get injured, calculate the economic cost of replacement versus repair. === U mean like Hollywood spewing out the big lie in movies like Pretty Woman, which lure 10's of thousands of addle brained teens to Hollywood where their souls are bought and sold for spare change? But that is "freedom"?
