Women In Time Change History

Epilogue
(to the tune of Solidarity)

“Equivalent exchange for different forms of labor time
The productivity of which develops over time
Unevenly, inevitably, and so creates in time
Surplus labor time

Mike: Which is?
Pegg: Source of all wealth.
Mike: Private?
Pegg: and/or common
Mike: Please define.

Ok, Start with...
Socially
Necessary labor time which now can be defined
As world average time we workers add to products of same kind
Subtract total other workers put in all that we must pay
for to work another day.

Productivity today is tallied to the nanosecond,
tracked ‘round the globe on cyber bits
on waves and wafers borne
on backs AND brains of waifs waved on
by waivers and new ways
to weigh the value of another human’s time
(the time that's bossed for pay

Calculated in manhours, standard units that don't change
as do pounds to euros, yen to dollar rates we use for their exchange.
The real hours should not be secret.  Such advantage makes free trade
unfair by definition
til it’s public info made.

This will happen when we common folk decide to make it so
When we see we have to go from ‘just say no’ to‘right to know’
Another round of Solidarity with old John Brown is due
Strange words to us were understood by him back then when they were new

International money exchanges
A dollar to day
That tomorrow’s worth a dime
Yet in international standard time
An hour’s an hour in any clime”

Make productivity transparent.
Manhours per unit should be ap- parent.
Consumers have a right to know.
WTO could make it so.
