Capitalism has a real problem.  It's a problem of knowledge.  When an employee knows a lot, that employee can capitalistically sell himself. 

 The University of Texas understood all this.  So they used the vocabulary of the Quality Circle and circumvented it by using carefully selected "multiple choice" to control the outcomes and established individual monitors all over the USA to ensure that outcome.  I  now realize that I had to live in Texas to find that out.  It took me over 20 years and lots of luck, I mean really dumb luck for this poor old bitch.  It started with a female in Dallas in Reston, VA. in my Managerial Grid Quality Circle and a fine senior citizen male at Dallas's Temple Emanu-El.  If it weren't for the V.I.P.'s of M.C.I. it never would have happened for me.  

Quality circleFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia• Learn more about using Wikipedia for research •A Quality Circle is a volunteer group composed of workers (or even students) who meet to discuss workplace improvement, and make presentations to management with their ideas, especially relating to quality of output in order to improve the performance of the organization, and motivate and enrich the work of employees. Typical topics are improving occupational safety and health, improving product design, and improvement in manufacturing process.

The ideal size of a quality circle is from eight to ten members.Quality circles have the advantage of continuity; the circle remains intact from project to project. (For a comparison to Quality Improvement Teams see Juran's Quality by Design[1].Quality circles were first established in Japan in 1962, and Kaoru Ishikawa has been credited with their creation. The movement in Japan was coordinated by the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers (JUSE).

The use of quality circles then spread beyond Japan. Quality circles have been implemented even in educational sectors in India and QCFI (Quality Circle Forum of India) is promoting such activities.

There are different quality circle tools, namely:
The Ishikawa diagram - which shows hierarchies of causes contributing to a problem 
The Pareto Chart - which analyses different causes by frequency to illustrate the vital cause
The PDCA-Deming wheel - Plan, Do, Check, Act, as described by W. Edwards Deming[edit]

Deuteronomy

1:11 (YHWH God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!) 1:12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 1:13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
1:15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
1:16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
1:17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
