Wow TIL.

LTV is a fundamentally classical liberal idea, so it really shouldn't be that surprising. Even so, the supply and demand model offers a much more coherent vision of prices in the marketplace.

As such, we can view working more than anyone else in supply and demand terms. People who produce the most are always in high demand, and the less of them there are, the more value a high productivity individual provides.
