Go read the book The Servile State by Hilaire Belloc. It was written in 1913 (before the Commie revolution in Russia) and it predicted that the clash of free-market systems with Communism, would result in a "servile state": a state in which most people would be compelled to work at low pay for the benefit of others.

Thanks GW for the recommendation. I have Belloc on my list of fellas to read.

I’ll dust off my G.K.Chesterton collection just for good measure ;)
