Ever heard of the "Gig" Economy? In a nutshell, it's a workforce that goes from one work "gig" to another, getting paid above or under the table. ("freelancing" is a variation on this) Although its origins are musical, it has come to define independent contracting in the workplace. In a recent article, Dave Ashton of SnapCar made an argument for replacing certain types of traditional employees with The Ultimate Paracord Survival Kit Review contractors. Make no mistake, he takes a controversial political position, more understandable perhaps when you recognize that it is based on the French economy and not the USA.

His general point is that the market is better served by independent contractors than by employees in some positions. It's a Randian workplace utopia view - that if everyone acts in their own self-interest all the time, everyone is served. Workers are more efficient because they generally work harder since their income directly relates to their actions, AND they net more take-home pay. Of course it's also better for employers because they need fewer employees for whom they pay government-mandated taxes for benefits.

I recall studying about Lima, Peru's cash economy when I was in grad school. It existed with full knowledge and tacit support of the government because it provided enough income for the poor to survive - thus keeping them off public assistance and out of the budget. Then I realized I didn't need to start a revolution to do this. It's already underway, driven by... my kids? Millennials strike again.
