We’re told that we need capitalism because people are naturally lazy and won’t work unless compelled. But we see counter-evidence: people want glory (even lame nerd glory, like HN karma or writing a FAQ), and they’ll work for that, not just money.

Even when given incentive via a salary it can be mentally or emotionally hard to stay motivated at one’s job. I appreciate that articles like this are helping us understand why people like to do things better.
