I don't see how formalizing and adding money to an informal relationship increases wealth.
The caregiver is doing the same work either way. Where is the wealth increase coming from?
- epups 3y agoBefore we continue our discussion, can you tell me what is your definition of wealth?
- MichaelZuo 3y agoI go by the OED standard definition.
- epups 3y agoAssuming you mean OECD, and that for these purposes we consider money reserves as an asset, then the person doing overtime has no increase in wealth (assuming they paid the same to the caregiver), the caregiver has an increase, every company involved have an increase, and the government also has an increase in wealth. If the person doing overtime is more qualified than the caregiver, then productivity increased as well.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoI meant OED as in the Oxford English Dictionary. The OECD definition seems suspect, an increase in money reserves does not guarantee an increase in wealth when there's been inflation. Do you have a source for it?
