"Another century like this—another century of work—and our species will be done for, along with countless others. Work—which is to say, all activity that is determined by the necessity to make a profit for someone, rather than chosen on account of its intrinsic value—is precisely what prevents us from fulfilling our needs."

@CrimethInc I agree the profit motive can get out of hand but I don't know a more efficient way of determining the intrinsic value of a unit of work. That's not to say it doesn't exist. but that it's an important question to answer for change to happen...

How can we measure and communicate value better than the price a customer is willing to pay?

It can be a metric, it might even be a good one (often isn't though), but is it a metric that should be optimized?
