“We must break out of this cult of productivity. It is robbing society of cultural anchors that bring us together and make us more human. We’ve stagnated because we made one aspect of a healthy civilization our sole purpose.”

I look forward, therefore, in days, not so very remote, to the greatest change, which has ever occurred in the material environment of life for human beings in the aggregate. But, of course, it will all happen gradually, not as a catastrophe. Indeed, it has already begun. The course of affairs will simply be that there will be ever larger and larger classes in groups of people from whom problems of economic necessity have been practically removed. The critical difference will be realized when this condition has become so general that the nature of one’s duty to one’s neighbor is changed. For it will remain reasonable to be economically purposive for others after it has ceased to be reasonable for oneself”
