you're on with are really going andrew stettner. caller: i'd like to make a couple of comments and ask a question. i read a lot about this. there's a professor by the name rifkin from u penn that writes a lot about the nding of capitalism because of all of this. how, you know, 2/3 of the economy is based on consumer spending. and if consumers don't have jobs, they're not going to be spend. go out and andrew so it's going to totally reform capitalism as we know it. or change capitalism as we know it. a lot of estion is people have proposed shortening because, you know, technology is what it is. the average worker shouldn't have to work more than a few a week in the future. and they're doing that in europe now. you're seeing the work week in germany, for example, it's like 30 some hours a week. and that way, you know, the jobs there, the work is more divided amongst the workers. and it seems to me the five day week should be on its way out in the new century. comments onget your both those points, if possible. thank you. host: thanks.
