I feel there is another point we are not looking at which worries me.
The author connects work to our self-worth which I think is an important connection to be made. If our worth is defined by work completed/productivity and there is a lack of work, slowly it means there is going to be a rise of people with a lack of self-worth (And being unemployed means your at home alone alot more)
Depression will come.
I worry that this trend of lack of work will begin to lead a rise in suicide due
to a compounded effect of lack of self-worth/identity.
Unsure if this is a sound conclusion to draw, but it worries me.
