      I feel like one of the reasons for this is because there is so much required of individuals.Whether it is our jobs or our education, we have to work constantly in order to survive. There is little or no leisure time until you have earned it. Would it be possible to live in a type of economic system that would allow each individual the ability to choose based on their own judgement of when to do work for others and when to do work for himself? That would be awesome!

      But hey, the internet is helping to reverse that, right? More people are able to socialize because of the internet. It just isn't bowling...
  • According to sociologist William F. Ogburn, the family – under the pressures of urbanization and industrialization – was stripped of many of its traditional functions until its only remaining functions were psychological: "to socialize children and to provide emotional sustenance and support for family members."

  • The first-year students averaged 52 minutes per day on social networks such as Facebook. On average, they sent between 11 and 20 text messages per day and spent 45 minutes texting or talking on a cell phone. Most students had between 150 and 200 Facebook friends.
  • More significantly, Jacobsen’s analysis reveals that Facebook and cell phones facilitated face-to-face interactions for this group of students. Initially the researchers suspected that digital media would partially replace offline socializing. Instead they found that face time increased by 10 to 15 minutes for every hour spent with social media and cell phones.

    Someone has very nicely identified specific elements of Leinster's 1946 story that correlate to computers and digital culture today.

  • Contrary to some of his critics’ assertions, Keynes was a relatively strong advocate of free markets. It was Keynes, not adam smith, who said, “There is no objection to be raised against the classical analysis of the manner in which private self-interest will determine what in particular is produced, in what proportions the factors of production will be combined to produce it, and how the value of the final product will be distributed between them.”

  • Coase's analysis proceeds by considering the conditions under which it makes sense for an entrepreneur to seek hired help instead of contracting out for some particular task
  • because the market is "efficient" (that is, those who are best at providing each good or service most cheaply are already doing so), it should always be cheaper to contract out than to hire
  • Coase noted, however, that there are a number of transaction costs to using the market

  • This suggests that firms will arise when they can arrange to produce what they need internally and somehow avoid these costs.
  • There is a natural limit to what can be produced internally, however.
