Thanks for clarifying - I would like to believe that you are right - but I still have concerns about things like project base bonuses, because there is still a giant distortion around employees who happen to end up on key projects being overvalued compared to other employees without whose contributions the key projects couldn't exist, arguably mirroring the inequalities we see in the larger society and leading to disintegration rather than increased cooperation. With regard to better products, I hadn't understood that you were referring to the compensation package as the product. That makes sense as an analogy. Your position makes sense, but I'm not at all sure that the market mechanism really optimizes in the way you hope.
