The fact is, in the advanced and first-developed countries of the world today, money is becoming less available to most people and part of the reason why is currencies themselves are becoming inadequate measures of the values of things -- goods and services but also accesses or permissions to use something -- relative one another. And there is no good or convincing reason to believe the trend will reverse and people will somehow gain access to more money or even to more accurate money, accurate in terms of its ability to measure value consistently or in a way that satisfies both buyers and sellers on each side of the transaction.

So we'll need to go back to pre-monetary markets for ever larger swathes or economic activity, and the main way to do this is to begin establishing ways of reckoning the worth of some good or service vis-a-vis others, where labor, especially, is important because it is the thing that ordinary people have the most of to sell in exchange for things they want and, more crucially, need.
So I see corvee making a comeback in the modern countries as this century continues, in a situation where money gains ever more use among those with access to it (and becomes even more precise in its ability to value things accurately relative one another) while money becomes less and less accessible, and less and less of an accurate measure of value (such that more people, both buyers and sellers, feel "ripped off" in a monetary transaction because the amount of money they gave, for the buyer, or the amount of things they gave up, for the seller, does not meet expectations). Money itself, in the advanced countries, despite the common currency used by each modern country, is value-bifurcating, by which I mean its ability to measure value adequately, such that both the buyer and the seller feel satisfied by what they gave or else gave up, respectively, in the transaction, is diverging between the commoners and the elites, such that the commoners,
