I think you should read Marx's Capital. It is devoted to answering that question: the generation of surplus value and its consequences in society. As you suggest, such system is not stable, explaining capitalism's tendency to crisis.
- ge96 9y agoCan't recall off hand if he was a good or bad guy "marxist" so I'm wondering about that book is that with his bias and if he was bad... I don't know I suppose the system has to make sense right? Like I agree with the doctor charging more for his services versus a janitor sweeping the floor. But yeah the product buying part. You could probably map this out. If X is the united states, and Y is another country. All of the money in business/laborers would eventually go to the top (business) because of the "profit" or 2x but then how does the worker not end up in debt. Unless the worker did the same thing you know building services that multiplied their worth instead of hourly rate, even hourly rate though if you had high wage. I don't know I tried reading Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations man that was a hard book to read.
