But why would I, as an individual, spend my life learning how to build buildings and then build them if I have no more benefit from doing that than I would from someone else putting in all that work? Surely I’d just do nothing and wait for someone else to do it?
The difference is that in capitalism, you are compensated for your labour in a different way, with wages. That is sufficient motivation to be productive. It does not make a difference in that regard who owns the final product.
Recognition isn’t as important as you make it sound. And most people will hardly start to work out of boredom. There’s plenty of ways to spend your time that are not productive.
In addition, there are plenty of jobs literally nobody wants to do, and consequently, nobody would do under your proposed system.
I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say, so let me rephrase the question. What exactly would have to change to adhere to this tenet, and why would that benefit society?
My point exactly. I could quite easily imagine my life without ever building a house. And so could everyone else. So your argument doesn’t really work.
