>There was a Harry Harrison book (one of the stainless stell rat books) that had the work/hour as currency. The computer credited you with how many hours you worked, and then goods and services were available for that many hours. I kinda like that. It puts emphasis on doing what you like to do, instead of what you get paid the most for.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've read any of them.

If everyone just did what they liked to do, who's going to be motivated to do the things that NEED to be done? There are a lot of jobs that just wouldn't get done if there weren't some real motivation (ie. money) to do them.
