Starting from scratch – how much are we all worth?
Just imagine if we could start society from scratch and decide on what value different jobs really had?
Just imagine if we could rationally produce an evaluation of the worth of each role?
Just imagine if we could reward people in line with their abilities, effort and true worth?
What salaries would we allocate to:
Teachers?
Bankers?
Entertainers?
Nurses?
Doctors?
Chief executives?
Religious leaders?
Inventors?
Sewage workers?
Drivers?
Biologists?
Artists?
Property speculators?
Fishermen?
Investors?
Police?
Soldiers?
City traders?
Social workers?
Physicists?
Carers?
Entrepreneurs?
Shelf stackers?
Till operators?
Chemists?
Politicians?
Writers and poets?
I wonder if we did it fairly if we would end up with the structure we now have?
How much is any person worth?
