This is a wild one. Very well-regarded apparently (judging by the number of citations of the original book from 1959)... but makes me wonder if the apparently "intrinsic" motivating factors in job satisfaction are actually a means of humans managing the cognitive dissonance of doing jobs we (mostly) would rather not have to do.

As in, we associated our self-worth with things like "achievement" "recognition" "work itself" and "advancement" because at least we're winning at the game, even if the game itself is meaningless or destructive.

"job enrichment" seems to be unironically presented here. Makes me wonder if it predates zookeepers using the term "enrichment"? But the intention seems the same: Keep us busy and engaged so we don't start pacing and rubbing our fur off against the walls of the cage...

Also, wtaf is with this leap of logic:
"For example, hunger, a basic biological drive, makes it necessary to earn money, and then money becomes a specific drive."

As if there's some inherent relationship between a human's biological need to eat and the wage-labour market? Bullshit.

I've just learned about the bandwagon effect today. This effect explains how people tend to show interest in a product or service simply because they believe others are using it.

We can sometimes join trends mindlessly and overlook our actual needs. At this point, 'need' becomes a crucial concept. Let's not forget our needs when following the latest trends in technology or any other aspect of life.

Let's be filled with curiosity and endlessly skeptical of authority.

People themselves have a variety of needs, is a comprehensive need, the satisfaction of these needs is the happiness of people, is the comprehensive development of people.

Answer:

It's a question.

BOTH men are better off than they were before the trade. If either one felt they would be in a worse position after the trade, they would refuse to complete it, and nothing would change hands.

In that moment, in those circumstances, using their own best of their and , both men what the other to trade more than they valued what they had to for it.

And therefore, they're both better off afterwards.

"@historickomodo submission: “Salvador Allende didn’t die for this shit.”

For newbies playing along at home, this circulates all over the place on pages, and it’s filled with pieces of . Firstly, one can’t really be a and a at the same time – if you support capitalist over the means of , then you support capitalism; if you support ownership over the means of production, where people have a say in the and they contribute to, then you support socialism. I don’t know how to make it more succinct than that. Also, is the post-scarcity natural conclusion of socialism, a / / where -operated is held in common and  “contribute according to their and receive according to their ”; is a aspect of the ideology, ergo a  “forcing everybody to be exactly equal” is not communism. 

Secondly, channeling government power to curb capitalism’s self-destructive excesses is merely Keynesian capitalism or Scandinavian social democracy, both of which try to use the state to mitigate structural tension within the parameters of the system (and all-too-often to wither away class consciousness and pushes for actual socialist change). 

Thirdly and lastly, “the and society being run democratically to meet needs rather than for a few” is literally socialism. Capitalism by definition will always have a tiny class of owners pulling the and strings; as long as they own the means of production and accrue profit off the backs of the class, they will always, always have disproportionate power in society. Such is the of class relations – throughout history, laboring classes have produced the things society needs while ruling classes have sat and accrued the most . If labor produces all, why not have a society democratically run by ?"

Psst: YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE NEEDS! Growing up in a fundy home you may not have been permitted to express them; likewise if you grew up with a parent or sibling with a physical or mental illness. Make a list of your unmet needs & explore how you can meet them yourself.
