At The Heart Of Every Labor Negotiation



"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."




Karl Marx
19th century German philosopher/political economist

What if anything do you think this 1875 quote has to do with economics in the world today?

What about your business?

Don't know, don't care?

You need to, you REALLY need to.

  2. Unfortunately the dynamics of the economics post-WWII lead to a consumerism that created requirements where none neither existed nor were required to exist. This neo-ism was considered a smart innovation!
    But the non-sustainability of the system has come to haunt the so-called developed economies now leading to one of the greatest slowdowns, where no viable solutions appear even in the near horizon.
