Recently finished reading David Graeber’s Bullshit Jobs and in it he talks about asking the question who brings social value to society? A lot of rich people do not, especially the super-rich who largely get their wealth from exploitation and rentierism. Having a society that properly values socially-useful people would incentivise more socially-valuable action. Until the people defining what current society’s standard of success is move on nothing is going to change.
