Working for a living in an irrational economic system

Click here to access article by Gary Engler from New Commune-ist Manifesto (Canada).

Under capitalism some peoples' "work" has taken on new meaning besides producing/creating a product or service that is useful to others. This author examines the "work" of such people who function in a capitalist society to provide rich people with more money, and compares them with people whose work provides real benefits to others in society. He concludes his examination with a very useful "cornfield and mazes" metaphor to distinguish the two types of work.
