Abstract
Given the importance of wages and salaries as a major component of the world of work, it is necessary to understand the relevance of other forms of payment in society. Within a pure market model the simple logic is this. If people only go to work for money and if they can get that money from another source, then it is inevitable that they will not go to work. Whilst such a simple logic would not be followed by anyone, there has been a significant and prolonged impact of its rationale on a broad range of policies and culture.
