Think About It - Captialism As It Is Now Being Practiced A Failure.

13. Weber ([1922] 1978) argues, most people will be motivated by self-interested material advantage,

just as in a market economy:

What is decisive is that in socialism, too, the individual will under these conditions (in which individuals have some capacity to make economically relevant decisions) ask first whether to him, personally, the rations allotted and the work assigned, as compared with other possibilities, appear to conform with his own interests.... (It) would be the interests of the individual, possibly organized in terms of the similar interests of many individuals as opposed to those of others, which would underlie all action. The structure of interests and the relevant situation would be different (from a market economy), and there would be other means of pursuing interests, but this fundamental factor would remain just as relevant as before. It is of course true that economic action which is oriented on purely ideological grounds to the interests of others does exist. But it is even more certain that the mass of men do not act in this way and that it is an induction from experience that they cannot do so and never will.
