Unit

Working, Playing

(chapters 8-11)

 

The touring group acquires labor credits.  The purpose of this unit is to consider the nature and role of work in modern life.  There should be dignity in all work; it should be distributed among all citizens; a leisure class, if permitted, will make increasing demands on others; with proper effi­ciency, planning, and control, no one need work more than half the typical working day in mod­ern society.
