Reading a little at a time. Very interesting!

Chapter 1 has an interesting discourse around how increases in productivity never yield more leisure but instead reduce the number of workers in a field. The example of a factory that makes pins is employed. However, Russell never once writes “capitalism”. His ongoing surprise over what seems like an obvious consequence of our economic system is surprising to me!
