The biggest single change in the workforce of the entrepreneurial age is the list of priorities workers bring to the job.

An outdated view still prevails that a low-carbon lifestyle requires immense personal suffering and sacrifice. In my view, nothing could be further from the truth. All the evidence shows that people who do not drive, do not fly on planes, do shop locally, do grow their own food, and do get to know other members of their community have a much higher quality of life than their compatriots who still persist in making the ultimate sacrifice of wasting their lives commuting to work in cars.
Magic is the power within oneself. You have enough strength and exertion and energy to view things as they are, personally, properly, and directly.

Capitalism improves the quality of life for the working class not just because it leads to improved wages but also because it produces new, better, and cheaper goods....

Under capitalism every business wants to cater to the masses, for that is where the money is.
