Incentives

Luigino Bruni ()

A chapter in A Lexicon of Social Well-Being, 2015, pp 72-75 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the paradoxes at the heart of our economic and social system is the peaceful coexistence between the radical rejection of masters and controls in the political sphere and the equally radical acceptance of other masters and controls in businesses and organizations. We started and still lead many fights and revolutions against tyrants and dictators, but as soon as we leave the public square and walk through the company doors we place our attire as democratic citizens on the hanger and meekly wear the habit of the regulated and controlled subject.
