With respect to John's Mum, isn't it possible to have a socially equitable society which still has the concept that people can pay more for
an enhanced service because for them it has a higher value? I pay more to get a best seller quickly because reading the latest Jeffry Archer
is important to me while you pay more to do something different. Money in this case is just a convenient unit of exchange.
The problems come when some people don't have enough of this unit to make the choices they want to. I am not sure that doing away with
charges is the solution. Not everyone can afford bread, do you make bread free for those who are poor or try to deal with the poverty?
PS John. You will never match your colleague's Library Entrepeneur of the Year Award with that attitude :-)
