“Basically, there's two ways of looking at things: through an economic lens or a moral lens. If people inherently believe something is important to do, they'll do it, but as soon as they're paid to do it, they can begin to see it quite differently, and that can lead to worse outcomes.”
So many great insights from @scottsantens in the book “Let there be money”
The government can step in - say, with a federal #JobsGuarantee - and employ everyone who wants a job but isn't offered one by the public sector, and by definition, this will not crowd out private sector activity.
Less obvious - but still true - is that the private sector is *riddled* with inefficiencies. The idea that Google and Facebook make "efficient" use of capital when they burn billions of dollars to increase their surveillance dragnets is absurd on its face.
