RESPONSE:
The equation above, is of course nothing new. It was instrumental & lay
behind many of the progressive social policies introduced by many
capitalist governments. One case in point was the NHS of the UK
introduced by Bevan. Even before that was school meals in the UK; & the
Boer War recruits being so weak & stunted prompted much consternation in
the ruling class.
