> how you determine the value of your labor.

Me too, but it's impossible to do so in any meaningfully accurate, objective, measurable way.

What works is when you negotiate with your employer and both come to an agreement on what labor you will provide and what you'll get paid for it.

Nobody has ever found a better system.

		You said "value" of labor, not salary. Salary indicates at best, market rate, but often not even that. Value is something else entirely, and that something seems to be completely disconnected from capitalist measures of market price. See: investment banker salaries vs teachers. See also: the price of a monkey JPEG. Even capitalist value is disconnected from market price, see the current stock market. > Nobody has ever found a better system. Anarchists in Spain did in 1936 when they syndicalized the majority of the economy. BTW Walter I'm not sure you remember but I'm fairly certain you've replied these exact words to me before.
