Oh, absolutely that's the PWE: The narrative structure providing the plot, the characters, and the ultimate moral of the capitalist bedtime story. Classic production-oriented capitalism, at least. Then we have this new beast, consumer-driven capitalism, in which the worker bees are expected to eat as much (or more!) of the mass-produced, government-subsidized, high-fructose-corn-syrup-enriched honey as they produce, and delayed gratification and hard labour gets switched out for "three easy steps!" and "no money down!" Always makes me want to dig up ole Max W. to see what he'd say on the second go-round.
