If everyone chose your "fair share" scenario, would the world as a whole be better off or worse off? For example, how do you account for the environmental impact likely to accompany the loss of agricultural efficiencies?
Do you really believe that employees are on equal footing with employers and a third party (let's call it government) is not required to enforce fairness?
- ctdonath 10y agoThe "fair share" scenario is a bottom line thought experiment. If we did in fact start with exactly that, we would quickly make arrangements changing the situation to something akin to what we see today, leveraging agricultural efficiencies suitable to the region and to the skills of the workers (be they mundane laborers or talented supply-chain managers or ...). I believe a small amount of governance is needed to address systemic abuses unto criminality. I believe most employees have far more alternatives than they believe they do, limiting their options by their choice of value prioritization - which they are free to do, and for which there are natural consequences. I am not a anarcho-capitalist (contracts only, no government), but am a conservative libertarian (minimal government facilitating contracts with moral limits).
