Alan Watts
A leisure economy will provide opportunity to develop the frustrated craftsman, sculptor, poet, composer, yachtsman or explorer that is in us all - if only we could earn a living that way. Certainly, there will be a plethora of bad and indifferent productions from so many unleashed amateurs, but the general long-term effect should be a tremendous enrichment of the quality and variety of fine art, music, food, furniture, clothing, gardens, and even homes-created largely on a do-it-yourself basis.
Alan Watts
Money is a measure of wealth, and we invent money as we invent the Fahrenheit scale of temperature or the avoirdupois measure of weight... By contrast with money, true wealth is the sum of energy, technical intelligence, and raw materials.
