The toil of work is a curse. There is work which is not toilsome, but it seems to me that actually existing capitalism tends to drive work toward toilsomeness. Making a movie is a joyous creative act, but not if its Transformers, and not if most of the work for the creators is not creative choices but trying to get funding, defuse strikes, fire people, incorporate box office building names and their terrible advice.
There is a heroic capitalism of inventing things, having insights and taking risks; but it quickly degenerates into a race to the bottom between copycats - who can tighten the belts of their suppliers the most? Who can lead consumers to pay most while getting least?
