I was on board and thought the author was making a different point until this section. I thought the author was arguing for a greater tie of wages to value. Instead he said, everyone deserves a basic living wage just because.If it is increasingly impossible to disentangle the productive and unproductive parts of human activity, then we can reconstruct the old producerist dogma in a new way: everyone deserves to be provided with the means to live a decent life, because we are all already contributing to the production and reproduction of society itself.
