HIjacked book reaction in a nutshell

 To sum up the last article, I'd like to offer this simple approach to it.

"Why did the conservative work ethic fail?"

Because it forced people to work.

"Why did the socialist work ethic fail?"

Because it forced people to work.

"Why did the progressive work ethic fail?"

Because it forced people to work.

"So the problem with the whole world and all of our economic ideologies stem back to the protestant work ethic?"

Bingo.

Note, I guess I won't say ALL problems. There are other systemic issues with the various ideologies in question that need to be addressed, but is the work ethic a core problem with all of them? Heck yes. Probably the progressive version more than others because it already attempted to solve the other issues of the other systems rather successfully. 

But yes, I would say the big problem with the world today is the work ethic in general.
