Despite the vast quantities of premeditated bullshit there is still something there. Along with the music, and the dope, and the books that get passed around, there comes a feeling that goes much deeper than the outward signs of a particular lifestyle and forces the people involved to look away from the millennia as promised by Madison Ave. It promises something better. It is an answer to the angry helplessness of living in a jungle of machines you can't understand and of mass-produced ideas that are flung at you like cat-calls.

Bowles and MacEwan cannot really be urging here what they seem to be: that that index not be compiled and its increase not be sought. Moreover, as the primers teach, if income equality is stressed very much, incentives and bence output per capita may suffer. Just what is the trade off and where should a balance be struck between these two desiderata? These regrettably are thorny questions on which excited polemics are not very helpful. Without being any less concerned than Bowles and MacEwan with the wellbeing...
