“Of course all advance depends upon money, when we depend upon paid workers for any advance. Teach men as one of their first lessons in the gospel that pastoral work and evangelistic work ought to be paid, and will they not believe it? They would all believe it if the Holy Ghost did not dispute our teaching. It is a powerful proof of the presence and grace of the Holy Ghost that they do not all believe it and act accordingly.” IfsMenFirstsBelieveCoursesPowerfulTeachGraceTeachingDependsOughtHolyLessonsPaidWorkersProofGhostDisputesHoly Ghost Book:The Ministry of the Spirit: Selected Writings of Roland Allen Source: The Ministry of the Spirit: Selected Writings of Roland Allen
“This society in which knowledge workers dominate is in danger of a new "class conflict" between the large minority of knowledge workers and the majority of workers who will make their livings through traditional ways, either by manual work... or by service work. The productivity of knowledge work - still abysmally low - will predictably become the economic challenge of the knowledge society. On it will depend the ability of the knowledge society to give decent incomes, and with them dignity and status, to non knowledge people.” PeopleWayGivingStillsChallengesAbilityClassEconomicDangerDependsConflictLowsDignityMajorityWorkersProductivityIncomeTraditionalDecentMinoritiesManualsThis SocietyKnowledge WorkersClass ConflictNew ClassManual Work Author:Peter Drucker

“Between labor and play stands work. A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job which society pays him to do; whatfrom the point of view of society is necessary labor is from his point of view voluntary play. Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends, not on the job itself, but on the tastes of the individual who undertakes it. The difference does not, for example, coincide with the difference between a manual and a mental job; a gardener or a cobbler may be a worker, a bank clerk a laborer.” IfsMenMayDoePlayJobsIndividualDifferencesWorkViewsPayExampleDependsTasteLaborWorkersPoint Of ViewGardenerManualsClerksLaborersCobblers Author:W.

“The greatest danger to an adequate old-age security plan is rising prices. A rise of 2% a year in prices would cut the purchasing power of pensions about 45% in 30 years. The greatest danger of rising prices is from wages rising faster than output per man-hour.... Whether the nation succeeds in providing adequate security for retired workers depends in large measure upon the wage policies of trade unions.” MenYearsAgeNationsHoursCuttingPlansSecurityDangerPolicyDependsSucceedTradeUnionsAgingWorkersOld AgeFasterRisingProvidingWagesAdequateRetiredPensionOutputPurchasingTrade UnionsPurchasing PowerRising Prices Author:Sumner Slichter
