It aims to show that higher monetary compensation crowds-out motivation, and offering higher pay makes people less committed to their work, and may reduce their performance. The first part of the book examines the crowding-out effect and the motivational spill-over effect. A large number of applications to constitutional questions, various policy issues and the organization of firms is explored in the second part. In the last part is a discussion of the substantial consequences for policy making and economic theory.
