The Price of Life
YOUR WORK, YOUR ENERGY THE TRUE ENGINE OF THE WORLD ECONOMY
Welcome to the official website of The Price of Life, a book that originated from an innovative academic study. Initially presented in the chapter entitled The Diversion of Human Energy: How Work Has Become a Commodity in Modern Societies, published in 2024 in the anthology Current Progress in Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 2 by BP International, this research gained attention for its originality and relevance. Building on this initial work, the opportunity arose to expand and deepen the subject into a complete book, now accessible to readers from all backgrounds.
In the book, we explore how every action, effort, and movement we perform daily—powered by an invisible energy (ATP) generated in every cell of our body—represents an energetic potential comparable to systems that drive large global infrastructures. This vision is presented in a chapter that challenges the invisibility of this vital energy in the valuation of human labor and proposes a new metric: measuring salaries in watts. This idea invites us to understand, once and for all, the true energy that drives the economic system.
This site is dedicated to those seeking a deeper understanding of humanity’s role as the true source of energy enabling production, transportation, commerce, and consumption. Here, you can purchase your copy of the book, access exclusive content, and embark on a transformative journey that connects science, economics, and the unique value of every human being.
