A humanist approach to future digital economies might, on first sniff, smell redistributionist, but it is nothing of the kind. Some people would contribute and earn more than others. The point is not to create a fake contest where everybody is guaranteed to win, but rather to be honest about who contributed to successes, so as not to foster fake incentives.
in trying to water down his argument for conservatives, he strips it of any true audacity and makes it pointless. why have a contest that controls distribution at all?????
