Ah, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with the closing sentence. Most people aren't gung ho compensation maximizers, otherwise nobody would work in education or government. Free-market capitalism has so far been the most successful economic model, but that doesn't mean it's the right approach for everything. You might be surprised how many drugs are developed by government research institutes. Besides, why shouldn't human rights, like healthcare, be free? Well, ok, taxpayer-funded is not quite the same as free, but the idea still has merit. Can we really say we deserve this planet if we don't even take care of our own? Desperately wanting to fit everything into a free market model has so far produced more problems than it solved.
