Distribution According to Labour Input Under Socialism: Solved and Unsolved Problems

Chapter 11 in Incomes Policies, 1989, pp 209-233 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The socialist organisation of economic life implies that a major portion of consumer benefits (goods and services) produced in society is distributed according to the amount and quality of labour contributed by every individual. Unearned incomes, appropriation of the results of somebody else’s labour, are incompatible with the principles of socialism. According to our conceptions of social justice and equity, the social and material position of an individual in society is to be defined by socially useful labour and its results. Only this provision creates incentives for a better performance, higher quality and productivity of labour.
