- Should the distribution of work be adjusted? Absolutely! In the modern world, I unequivocally agree with this statement. But, I find this to be a fascinating question when applied to less recent periods throughout history. Would we be where we were today if the ancient Greeks didn't have a ruling class and a slave class? If the Europeans didn't have the same 1500 years later? It's largely been the working (I use this term quite loosely: consent is not implied) class that has enabled (a small number of) the leisure class to make the majority of societal and technological progress. How true is this today? I'm willing to bet those making technological and societal progress are now largely in the working class. Sorry my comment is inconclusive; it's something I've been long meaning to investigate further.
