Re: [OPE] Invention, Inventors, and the Productivity of Labor

Paul C.: "It also seems invidious to single out some employees as 'entrepreneurs'."   We can’t escape a social division of labour. We are not yet in the position of synthesize goods at zero labour costs.   The key rests in the access to the profession of managers under socialism. We can devise more transparent and less elitist paths.   Regards,A.

It may be appropriate to recognise that a particular invention was made a particular team of people and pay them a one off a bonus from the overall reduction in costs that the invention made possible, but that could be any team of workers, not just a group of managers. _______________________________________________ ope mailing list ope@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/ope
