I have my own theory for a modified communism. What I suggest is a sort of "lottery" for innovation. Kinda like the Anasazi X Prize, where if you invent something useful, you get a large sum of money.

And I suppose the government would keep a list of things that "need" to be invented/done. This is just a simple idea I have right now, it would probably need more failsafe laws in order to not be abused, but I think it's a good idea to pay people who actually deserve it rather than the democratic way of paying people for what the public thinks is good for them (overpaid actors, etc.)

I suppose there could be a voting system for things that need to be done.

But the thing is that it effects productivity in all areas. Your prize does nothing to inspire the line worker to decrease his average cycle time.

What about the fact that the typical worker even in the USA probably doesn't want to do more than he has to anyway? And even if he did, who's to say the company will acknowledge his effort anyway? While we all like to hear of the little guy who started small and made his way to the top, you generally have to start out big to become big. No one's going to promote the dirty Mexican at the assembly line.

So you would think, but I know for a fact that at least at my work place, line workers that perform especially well usually eventually get promoted.
