Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: “We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around.”

    Can those examples be generalized on how to handle resource conflicts?

        Cake is a present where everybody gets a slice because the cake was selected accordingly.

        If only one person can get promoted, or an increased budget for wages is available, could that be resolved without managers, not just in theory but all over the world?

          We’re talking about allocting scarce resources via cooperation, not competition. Whether you could make every organization completely flat (no managers) is tangential.

          I see what you’re getting at, though, and yes, of course we can allocate scarce resources by cooperation at a global scale. It already happens even in capitalist countries on issues of tremendous importance, see the negotiations around how water from the Colorado River is allocated.
