Why would you want 100 people doing the job of 1? You'd be purposefully eliminating economies of scale and making the market less efficient.

- JanisL 5y agoWhy would you want 100 people to have wealth instead of just one? I feel there's some related questions about utility being non-linear that matter here
- fighterpilot 5y agoNo, because you can make the same argument against any improvement in efficiency and productivity. It's like arguing against division of labor or automation in a factory because less people will be employed by the factory. It's anti-prosperity.
- eru 5y agoEh, let the market place organize in a matter that promotes efficiency, and if you really want to re-distribute, use the tax system. That way you get a bigger pie to share around.
