Did you mean to say “less valuable” in your question? Because if you didn’t, well we can study recent history to get an answer because we’ve already built that society.

What complicates the picture though is that these lying/cheating/bullshitting financiers work some of the most hours in society. It’s a weird new phenomenon where the very richest and the very poorest are all working very long work weeks.

The poorest are cleaners, care workers, and teachers though, and then there’s these rich people pulling off scams, losing money and contributing nothing of value, yet still getting paid a shitload.

I’m reading “Liar’s Poker” now, and man it is awful learning the anti-social attitudes of these workplaces and knowing that this book then became something that further promulgated those attitudes.
