A Better Way to Divide the Pie
link
summary
This article discusses the topic of resource allocation and proposes a better way to divide resources fairly and efficiently. The author argues that traditional methods of dividing resources, such as equal division or based on seniority, may not always lead to the most optimal outcomes. Instead, the article suggests using a merit-based approach where resources are allocated based on the value that each individual contributes. This approach takes into account factors such as skills, productivity, and impact. The article provides examples of how this approach can be applied in various contexts, including organizations and society as a whole. By considering merit rather than simply dividing resources equally, the author argues that a more efficient and fair distribution of resources can be achieved.
