And that balances supply and demand how ? I understand where you're coming from, but 'influence and prestige'- unless they are traded - are not market goods. To preempt, competition based on status signals also != markets.
Though what the NEMJ authors seem to desire is more akin to a market - I'll trade you this data for the prestige of a co authorship - this is not 'markets broke science', this is 'scientists believe an explicit market structure will maximise their utility'.
These seem to me to be radically different statements, though this may be a matter of perspective.
