When she first began at the

As for the specific statistics of
Mr. Livinston: a careful examina-

tion reveals that those figures
are rigged; they do not effectively reflect real condition; they
are meaningless. This is not reflection on Mr. Livinston, for he
was probably only using terms
and figures that have been rigged
a long time. For instance, in 1967,
he said "industrial plants areop-eratin- g
at only 84 capacity-do- wn
from 917c . . ." What
is that supposed to mean? Look
now, if our economy was operating anywhere near capacity, why
are so many American citizens
lacking so many basic necessities? I dare anybody to stand
up and tell me we don't already
have enough food to feed the
starving children in Mississippi,
or enough cloth to cover their
bodies, or enough coal to heat
their houses. We don't need to
grow another bushel, or sheer
another sheep, or even dig
another ton (since so much of
it is sliding down and crushing
the starving people in our own
state.) All we need is someone
with the authority to redirect a
few trains and trucks who will do
so. No wonder "managerial, supervisory, and skilled personnel
are short." Only the concentrated
effort of millions of brains could
mismanage the American economy to the point where many of
its citizens are starved.
Then again, when you consider that most of our war ("defense") plants are producing all
they can, it's no mystery that
the average would come out to

84 percent capacity. When an
economy is producing all it can,
there will be a rise in either

inflation or the standardof living.
I leave it to you to decide which
we are experiencing now.
I still maintain there is no
great economic problem today.
There is, however, a definite
priority problem, a problem of
goals, a moral problem. And I
continue to maintain that this
moral problem is derived from
our thoroughly ingrained Puritan
Ethic, which is the basisof whatever American culture we can be
said to have. The Purist an Ethic
is basically that "All mensliould
work for a living." One side effect of the Puritan Ethic that
we are largely unaware of is that
it has affected our language and
human relationships.
For instance it is said that society
"gives rights" to the individual
and "in return" for these rights
the individual "has a duty" or
a "debt" to obey the laws set
up by that society. I could give

other examples, but considerthis:
if the Golden Rule was rephrased

so as to be consistent with our
dominant morality it would read,
"Do unto others exactly as they
do unto you."
There are two things wrong
with the Puritan Ethic: (1) It
psychologically compels our society to try to provide a job
for everyone when this is imixs-sibl- e
today without mismanaging
everything. More important (2)
the unseen business mctaplior
inherent in our morality is not
now nor has it ever been an accurate way to describe and interpret human relationships. For
instance, society is not a moral
nronopolist. And people obey the
law only because they don't feel
like breaking it, not because they
"have a duty." They is now a
better way for describing and interpreting human relationships,
but I have already digressed too
far.
