Just heard a story (from our traveling teacher/storyteller friend from Tinian) about Chinese medicine, back to about 3000-4000BC; the village doctor got paid as long as you were well. It was a tiny stipend, from everybody in the village. When you got sick, your payment stopped until you were well again.
Does that strike you as an *incentive*?

Finally starting to read John Kenneth Galbraith’s The New Industrial State (3d Ed., ‘78); it’s about the largest corporations and their needs, not the “market” at all. Also hearing fascinating interviews with his son lately.
Meanwhile, find your talents, develop them, help as many people as possible with them. Bucky Fuller found (in Critical Path) that his rewards came from unexpected quarters when he did that.
