"Economists believe in full employment. Americans think that work builds
character. But what if jobs aren’t working anymore?"

Via Franklin Stone and then Muse, who added:

"This article is very very close to my own ideas. The author repeats
many of my own points about our current situation. My main difference is
that he is still equating work with paid work. Lots of work needs to be
done. Not all of it is paid work organised by an employer."
