[p2p-research] The problems of debt

[Ryan Lanham]

Free riders are the long standing issue of all socialist systems.  People
fail to be productive in a way that the world wants.  Therefore they consume
without creating value.  Work isn't work unless someone wants the output.  I
know that comes as news to some, but sadly, it is a universal truth.  If a
person's labour is not demanded, they are in fact consuming...not working.
