Cost-efficiency in the marketplace of commodities. Productivity of the working class grows with automation produced by the working class. Productivity is measured as "output per hour of labour". Labour is hired to produce the wealth of Australia. The social product of labour, including the machines which increase our productivity, should be owned in common along with the wealth we produce. We deserve to live in a real Commonwealth. We should distribute the wealth we produce according to human need. It should not belong to a tiny class composed of 1% of the population. The top 1% now own more wealth than the bottom 70% because we live under the wage system. We should use increases in productivity to shorten the workweek and provide us with a higher social wage and more free-time.
