Money and time — the exchange at the heart of work

At its most basic, work is the sale of irreplaceable time for money that can be earned again — a trade that is never as neutral as it appears. The question reason demands you ask is not merely whether you are paid fairly, but whether the exchange, across a lifetime, leaves you with a life worth having. Many people spend their most alive hours acquiring money to spend during hours that are, by comparison, already lost.
