I don't believe it should be different, and so far no better way of pricing has been found than a free market. However a completely separate issue is inequality. This is important to the winners as well, as it provides a measure of stability to the system. What governments (or unions for that matter) should not do is impose new labor laws on businesses. This merely distorts free markets and creates burdens which might cause them to simply move elsewhere. What is needed is a basic income so people can pursue opportunities. Oh, and maybe the grubmint can be more efficient at spending money.
