Christian writes:>To be "unemployed" is to be within capital's orbit (ie it's a distinction that applies to populations constructed statistically by nation-states and
super-national bodies.) Robinson is saying that being outside of that orbit is far worse than being in it. That is, even unemployment within the orbit of capital is better than whatever states of work life are available in
other modes of production, given the encroachment of capital on those worlds. (As I recall, she is referring to Latin American "development" during the Cold War.)<

I searched for JR's famous quote once
(it's in her ECONOMIC PHILOSOPHY or ECONOMIC HERESIES).
It specifically refered to Southeast Asia. -- Jim Devine
