Weighting labor (was: Re: [ox-en] There is no such thing like "peer money")



Hi Christian and all!

what do you do if demand for unpopular, repetetive, boring tasks (like
cleaning or most of the typical manufacturing tasks) exceeds supply of
people willing to do the task on a reliable, lasting basis? dropping all
"excessive" projects until demand meets supply for the specific task
doesnt seem like a reasonable solution.

they are "weighted higher", i.e. if you decide to perform an unpopular task,
you have to do less of it than when you perform a popular task.
Read the book.

This is indeed one point in the book which I simply do not understand:
In which way this is any different from a simply labor market? You are
paid higher wages for tasks for which there are less people available.

However, the labor market is true to reality in that not everyone is
able to do any job and so the supply side is part of the weight. But I
see no way to prevent that in a system based on abstract labor like
you are proposing.
