Your first paragraph, on supply and demand, is fairly accurate, but to say that "some people are able to produce much more than others" is oversimplifying.
Consider a fast food restaurant with one cleaner, two people at the tills, three people in the kitchen, and one manager. Remove any of them and the lines will become too long, the place will become unacceptably dirty, etc. However, none of the employees is "producing" more than any other.
- lotsofpulp 9y agoPerhaps I shouldn't have used individuals, but in my opinion, it's easy to see that a team of engineers automating a factory produce, via their machines, much more than thousands of the factory workers who were doing rote work day after day. The people that developed email and whatnot produced more than the people who deliver mail, etc.
