Why do we have to work? The answer is - we have scarcity. Our desires are greater than what we have. Therefore I don't think you can have "more workers than work". If you had more workers than work you wouldn't be having a scarcity. Work is limited by scarcity and scarcity is, I wouldn't say infinite, but indefinitely large. (...) As long as we want more than we have there's plenty of work, so there can't be more workers than work.
