People who are forced to work at jobs they hate, desperate to keep that job even though it robs them of life-force more than it pays them in money, who nevertheless need it because it is the only way to survive, are in a very real way not free.

Real freedom would be autonomy: the condition whereby values determine activities, not the other way around. But we would need an economy not based on money, which is a value-neutral means of exchange. Simmel, Weber are like authors of tomorrow.

UBI for the workers! Work to thrive, not to survive! UBI for small business! Pay workers what you must, to keep them showing up!
