This section of the Huffington Post tribute to Tom Hayden is worth remembering:

(It references Hayden's defining work on the Port Huron Statement, the declaration that was released as Students for a Democratic Society was formed)

Regarding what it called the “economic sphere,” the Statement declared “that work should involve incentives worthier than money or survival,” that “the economic experience is so personally decisive that the individual must share in its full determination, and “that the economy itself is of such social importance that its major resources and means of production should be open to democratic participation and subject to democratic social regulation.”
