placed this same value on work. regarding it as some-
thing from which to be delivered as a prerequisite to
the enjoyment of Life. In England, the classic land of
Capitalism, the ideas of work and wealth were the central ideas of social valuation. The rich had not to work; the" middle classes" had to work, but were not
poor; the poor had to work to exist from one week to

Leisure Class," showed the wide ramifications in the life
of 19th century nations of this attitude toward work.

for servants.
