BtZ42 p.14 But the Firm is patient,

[ish mailian]

Good to look into that _Life Against Death_ by NOB on this.

The passages he quotes from Keynes are astounding.

The Liberation from Bondage, from Laboring is Dread (like the Dora
Slaves who find liberartion Dread)  But Brown, again, and we need to
read that  Freud essay on Day-Dreaming (thanks again for posting it)
rejects the fear of Bartleby and the Dora Slaves, for underneath the
habit of labor is the immortal instinct to play.

NOB also ties Mumford to Keynes and to Oedipa Mass, the dread of
Virginia Woolf's granddaughters in America,  and the manufactured
Feminist Mystic and the Mechanical Bride.

Great Source for P that NOB.
