I think free market forces would work better if we had a culture that was less work centric. We have created a culture that places high value on work ethic, income, and personal achievement. Those are great things, but they are also great qualities for employers to exploit.
If we viewed overworking, putting in 60 hour weeks or doing risky work for more money as something unhealthy and greedy, rather than as commendable, free market forces might work better.
- smallgovt 7y agoThe class of people who have bandwidth to worry about values like work ethic and personal achievement aren't the ones who are being exploited by employee vs IC misclassification.
- ericmcer 7y agoYou obviously have not listened to the numerous songs/tweets/instagram posts about “grinding” if you think valuing work ethic is exclusive to certain classes.
