Gents and Gals, I am glad to be back.
While away, someone sent me this clip about "worker wages and the cost of living", also from John Sutherland in the 50s.

In the spirit of films produced by Harding College and John Sutherland, presents a tunnel vision capitalist view of economics in this 1950 clip.
This time, rising prices are blamed on increasing wages for workers, so the only hope for wages to keep up is for workers to produce more. Cartoon hero Joe comes up with an idea to increase productivity so his company's owners will earn more profits, and then he gets a raise. So make more money for someone else, and they will reward you with a bit of it.
It is kind of a fun cartoon in Technicolor in spite of this simplistic view of economics.
