All things being equal (and therefore handwaving away the conversion of huge numbers of Asian peasant workers into factory or professional workers and the simultaneous converstion of tacit knowledge into expert systems which have both had a deflationary effect on the wages of professional workers) I suspec they removal of social status from the professions would drive up the price.
Which would be a) a horrible self-fulfilling prophesy of a sort and b) decent pay back for a society who wanted to monetise everything.
