in the olden days? First of all, there is this myth that Western society was capitalist for all of its history.
That is wrong. England became more free at the start of the Industrial Revolution.
Before then there was numerous government intervention in the economy.
free market capitalism allowed society to become so prosperous that their children did not have to work.
It is in socialist countries where you have more elderly and young people working.
In capitalist societies, we are rich enough not to.
