That rather implies a society of subsistence farmers is the "most valuable", which is the one thing everyone in every society runs away from as fast as possible when technology prevents economic alternatives.
IME the people who care about societal value more than monetary value either already have plenty of the latter or aren't going to be the ones doing the work.
It’s interesting that we would care about monetary value more than societal value- that kind of leans into my point don’t you think?
