Can you build a viable society on volunteer work alone?
I'm sure there are a few (1:million) saints among us that just selflessly give their all, but why would anyone else take any shit from their boss or customers?
I like fantasies too but really consider it for a bit; most people volunteer at animal shelters to play with the cute puppies and kittens.
- anigbrowl 4y agoI asserted that it existed, not that it was the sole engine of economic growth. Why make such invalid inferences? The fraction of people who volunteer by default is about 15%; ~20% pursue win-win economic outcomes, a similar portion are risk minimizers, and ~30% prefer a zero or negative-sum outcome as long as they come out on top. The remaining fraction don't adhere to any consistent pattern, whether due to stupidity or selectivity.
