People are motivated by the profit incentive. It is true most people are now forced to work to survive, but clearly money is not the prime motivator . People take pride in what they do and produce, particularly when they are in charge of it. Competition makes for a healthy economy. Most everything people have done to create societies and civilization has been based on cooperation.
People enjoy team work and team sports and volunteerism.
More recently, people have been trained to compete in everything, which creates fear, greed and domination by a few. Global economics and big corporate efficiency benefit us all. Some benefit, but the rest of us pay dearly with increasing poverty and planetary degradation. Then we will need to return to community and regional economics that can sustain us for centuries. There are plenty of fine examples of this happening now.
