In addition, the disruption of supply chains has led to a significant decrease in global trade. As the virus continues to spread, the economic consequences may be even more severe. It is essential that governments around the world take immediate action to contain the outbreak and help mitigate the economic damage.

A Brief Primer On What "Wage Slavery" Means
The concept of work has been challenged since its inception. For Aristotle, the end goal for humans was supposed to be leisure. This is a sentiment that has continued to the modern day. Contemporary philosopher John Danaher wrote: "Work, suitably-defined, is a bad thing and we should try to create a society in which it is no longer necessary."
