Economist:Labour Links and Resources |
|
August 2011 |
For all its emphasis on work,
economics is actually based on the far more sensible assumption that
people prefer leisure to work. Which is why all proper economists are
teachers or professional footballers. We work in order to earn income
that will that will buy us other things we want, such as food and shelter,
or for Mrs Tucker shoes and for Miss Davie,s cakes... In other
words we have much more of a leisure ethic than work ethic which makes
sixth formers rather good economists as well.
