Hello,
If you remember Marx, you'll know that in capitalism it's not the popularityof jobs that determines how much people are paid (nobody wants to be a cleaner, and yet, they are paid very little). Instead, it's _simple_ vs._complex_ labor -- all simple tasks (which anybody or almost anybody can do)pay roughly the same, since people are competing for jobs and if you can only compete for simple labor, your negotiation power is very low (if you ask for better payment because your job is unpopular, somebody else islikely to get it instead, and you'll learn the hard way that job popularitydoesn't count in capitalism). If you qualify for some complex job, your negotiation power is much better, since only people who have acquired comparable qualifications can compete with you (and people will hardly bother to get such qualifications unless they can expect better payment), hence your payment will generally be better.
with respect to the above, what do you think about our general (applicable to any individual contributor/task of a project) reward formula?
Reward (Euro) = time * required knowledge * quality of the completed task Expressed in Vodes: CV = LV * IV-xxx * qone of the benefits of such a general reward formula is that it allows a pluralistic (encompassing the main production and consumption forces/functions) community to collectively and democratically (and imv quite efficiently) distribute community wealth by setting ("voting on") key economic exchange values:
Important Economic Decision_1 (to set the exchange value of time on Vodes.Net in Western Europe)
"What is the maximum a person in Western Europe should earn per hour for cleaning up at a VN Event and putting average efforts into this task?"
Conceptually, IV-bas = 1 (it does not require much knowledge to clean) and q = 1 (average task fulfillment)
i need to think more about your statement on the suggested "peer changes" and how/if they (will) affect this formula. thx for your inspiration, Christian!
