"If exploitation by capital is eliminated, the scope of necessary labor will be
expanded. But even taking this into account, a drastic reduction in working
hours will
be possible because capital's usurpation of “time at its disposal” will be
eliminated."
I scanned, rather than studied, the article's 53 pages but appreciate this and
your work, Tom, as being an important element of ecosocialism and what academy
Marxists call "degrowth." I think that's the wrong label for a concept that
reduces to the elimination of commodity production to promote other types of
growth such as the growth of personal, not necessarily, leisure time. That is,
we are talking about new types of work and growth.
thanks, Mark
