For many of us, the top 3 boxes in Maslow's pyramid are resolved through work, belonging to teams at work, self esteem through the paycheck reward system, self-actualization through the building of collaborative relationships and sharing of difficult situations. If work is removed as a requirement for the less hard working, as the article puts it, I suspect they'd become a problem for society, similar to the chronically unemployed today.
