As the 21st-century unfolds, it’s time to completely debunk economic theories left over from the 19th & 20th. Value does not derive from labor; it derives from self-actualization. Everything we do to help people express themselves at a higher level puts value into the economy.

“Value derives from self actualization”...that’s Marianne’s way of telling us this is all about selling books and communicating with paying customers.

Surely, value is also derived from labor. Both the value of doing the work, and what that work provides. @marwilliamson

Undoubtedly. But a happier, more fulfilled person labors at a higher level. Right now, our system keeps people only as fulfilled as necessary to keep them producing cheap labor.

Do you support an AFL–CIO but for emotional labor?

I spent my day self-actualizing, where do I pick up my paycheck?

The idea that value DOESN'T derive from labor has been one of the more destructive ideas to take hold in the twentieth century. That one idea is literally why the economy works better for the rich than for the middle class.
