Excerpt from Human Efficiency and Levels of Intelligence
Moreover if the views set forth in these lectures are in the main sound then it is quite possible to restate practically all of our social problems in terms of mental level.
For example, what could be done with labor and wages? Suppose we say men should be paid first according to their intelligence; and second according to their labor: e.g., "D" men are worth and should receive "D" wages; C men C wages (which are higher), etc. If a certain job requires D intelligence, D men should be employed at D wages. If there are not enough D men, C men must be employed at C wages. And it may be relied upon that they will be worth the difference because of their greater intelligence.
If, of two jobs each requiring D intelligence, one is more agreeable than the other and hence draws all the D men, the conditions must be evened up as far as possible by changing hours, etc., and then by increasing the pay for the less desirable job. A little experimenting would equalize the two jobs so that all would be satisfied. Doubtless other adjustments would be found necessary.
