: : As long as you can acknowledge that the rich and super-rich don't have to do any work, then we can move on. What this does, though, is focus the debate on property, not working to succeed or laziness or any such notion. Can you go along with that?

: It focus' the debate on property if your definition of work doesn't include intellectual work, entrepreneurial work, creative rearranging present modes of production and the rewards attached to those activities.
: Of course I include all that as work. The rewards that naturally follow, ie; wealth and property and prestige etc, are the consumers way of saying 'Thanx'.

*Just curious professor, but where does 'being born wealthy' fit into your definition of 'hard work.'* --K
