[QUOTE="Whither, post: 4326671, member: 76643"] It's a hollow notion of freedom to ignore the exploitative and at times disciplinary character of the 'invisible hand'. You're partly correct: no one in particular induces us to work here or there, but nevertheless those of us without much, if any, capital are dependent on selling our ability to work for a wage. I think there can be little doubt that compulsory schooling in childhood goes a long way to adapting us to the tedious rhythms and other-directed means and ends of wage labor. Not to mention, what first generations perceived and reacted to as a hostile threat becomes accepted as 'the way it's always been', e.g., a perfected state of dependency. It's a classic case of missing the forest for the trees. The market is a [I]collective[/I] social force. [/QUOTE]
