- Market price reflects actual value created honestly
- Supply and demand determine worth objectively
- Higher pay means more contribution generally
- Compensation reveals true priorities of culture
Disagree
- Essential workers are systematically undervalued always
- Salary reflects power not worth or contribution
- Market failures make this completely wrong
- Human dignity transcends economic utility entirely
