It depends on your definition of "getting things done". I have no illusions about the work ethic of meditteraneans (being one myself, and with the caveat that work ethic is probably the wrong word to use here). This might be just

Reframe the conversation by calling it a "passion" economy, then conveniently avoid mentioning what a representative "passionario" will earn. It obviously occured to them, but they can't "monetize individuality
