What would it be like in a world where a person’s emotional and social worth could be accurately measured?

What if we had a kind of “money” that measured the other things we value in people in addition to their resource producing worth? What would a world be like where people were valued according to how much they were loved instead of how many widgets they could build in an hour? What if we could measure the relative social importance of individuals?

What would it be like if the social value of an individual was instantly apparent to others in the same way that money gives us an instant picture of the value of the individual’s resources? Would people start working to build love instead of cars? Would people become more caring and helpful? What would happen?

Would higher status be conferred on more helpful people? Would people start to help each other more, or socialize more, or become more loved instead of more wealthy?
