Profit Incentive or Purpose Incentive

Here is a nice video about what really motivates people. It defies the normal economic view about profit and incentives. It talks about studies done by economists and psychologists about people working for profits and for free.

Nick, I saw a video from a friend of mine about this same kind of thing. I'll post the link so you can watch it.

Isn't the purpose of work just to make money?

I also have a video on a blog post of mine entitled "The Market is Moral or Natural?" with a video on gift economies vs. the market and why the market does NOT represent human nature.

I will check it out. I plan on making a video about human nature at one point. I have other things I need to finish up with first.
