- jnwatson 7y agoAnybody that wants more money. You know, the same reason that folks look for promotions: more responsibility for more money.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoI believe the idea is to provide financial incentives to work.
- dragonwriter 7y agoIt's not without cost, you lose the additional income you'd get from working. People making $1,000/month expend extra effort to make more than that when the effort to make $1,000/month is nonzero, so I have no problem thinking people with any kind of opportunity will do so when the effort to make $1,000/month is zero, as they will have a lot more available unexpended effort.
- ALittleLight 7y agoIn a normal situation this is true. In situation described above only the essentials are being produced by the economy and everyone gets essentials and nobody producing non-essentials works. Having more money isn't useful in this situation. You already get the essentials and can't buy non-essentials because they aren't being produced.
- TuringTest 7y agoYou assume non-essentials wouldn't be created. Instead, they could be created by people who enjoy creating them - but they would be much more influenced by what they like, not necessarily what people demand.
