Nine days from today, June 27, 2015 will be the 150th anniversary of Marx's call for abolition of the wages system. I have argued that managing collective labor power as a common pool resource, rather than selling it as an individually owned commodity is the key to abolition of the wages system. The anniversary of Marx's address to the Central Council of the International Workingmen's Association is a propitious occasion for talking about what it might mean to abolish the wages system and how such a formidable task might be accomplished. Let's talk about it. I will be posting at EconoSpeak on the topic in the days leading up to the June 27 anniversary. Cheers, Tom Walker (Sandwichman)
