﻿The Element. 
Two or more economic systems at loggerheads resolves the matter into ultra-competition, and I imagine that some of the boys will pull-in their horns before the competition runs into desuetude (its tough!) Our participation in the race is merely in the time honored moves of distraction and an occasional economic spoke in the wheel, in hopes that times healing office will cause the opposing system to go state—this is possible because all currant economic systems in use are basically imperfect and far from satisfactory. 
And while the economic systems have at iit with brickbats and other explosives the workers can chew on their thumb and listen to their stomach warble God Bless America With Sense. 
When two such popular programs start warring, the pyrotechics are fast, furious and at times funny. Funny because neither system has a fighting chance on their own, as is—in other words t’was a noble battle, yet no one was there; on its own. 
Couple immitations trying to pass themselves off as “its” 
It is possible that the workers could put up a better economic system, beginning from ground, up? The “shop” would choose their overseers and stewards —same as we choose the dog-catcher now—sometimes to the sorrow of the dog. 
And so on clear to the top of the pole—the sepulchreish tone to always come from the bottom and no ventroquism allowed- 
Such things however are furthest from the workers thoughts and he is patiently waiting for the bigshots to pull a few fast ones. 
They will. And if the worker doesn’t land in the poorhouse it will be because the “pogey” burnt down.
