“This is a time to free people of work. Rather than rack their brains to create
employment economists should now work out plans to create leisure.”
-FM-2030
Leisure.
Something that I all know we could have more of.
It always seems like there are never enough hours in a day
and that when the day is over, I wonder where did my time go? A world where I could be free from the
confines of work sounds like a paradise.
I would be free to do the things that I have always wanted to do and not
worry. However, that is a day in
the far future or is it?
FM-2030 certainly thinks that the brains of society should
be working towards figuring out a way to make it possible. According to FM-2030, “fewer and fewer
people working less and less can produce more and more and more. This is the meaning of the new
cybernated world of Leisure and Abundance.”
So how does working less produce more?
As society hasn’t come that far it can be concluded that
that day is far off, however it will be interesting to see when it comes or if
it comes. The day that fewer
people have to work will be the day when leisure becomes more then just a once
in a time thing because…
As Aristotle once said, “the end of labor is to gain
leisure.”
