Conclusions

It can be seen that this system provides the panacea against all revolution; for everyone will be as happy as possible, with a minimum of frustration. It must not be thought that humans will become blase: they will have no Idea themselves what their desires really are. When they receive their allocation, this will be a common saying, "Why that's just what I am!" Moreover, this society certainly will not be monotonous: if the power coefficient allocated to your position (adjusted by your abnormality coefficient) is greater than you desire, you will go to a different job; if it less you will go to a different job. Since this balance is not likely to be stable, nearly everyone will change positions monthly. Variety with Security. It may be objected that the system is wasteful because of the high labour turnover: on the contrary, the economy is so advanced [unclear: that] the small loss is of no consequence (technically speaking, below the "minimum sensibile"). Any loss may be considred to be outbalanced by the achievement of variety. A further advantage is obtained by the automatic adjustment of work and leisure-time made by the Economies Department: this is a simple arithmetical operation carried out by comparing the desire for leisure with the desire for things necessitating work.

This system needs no political control: everyone is satisfied, for the whole society is self-run by the members themselves—shades of Marx! This is no idle dream. It could be true, and if the reader manages to live for the next few centuries, he will no doubt become Minister for Controls by virtue of a knowledge of these principles.
