It's fundamentally impossible for one man to build even the microwave that preheats the meals inside a 747, but that's no reasonable threshold. The entirety of modern life is built on transacting goods and services that are fundamentally impossible to create alone -- are you trying to say that all transactions are unfair? Or just Bill Gates'? Or just transactions that are too skillfully done?
- crimsonalucard 9y agoThis is not true at all. A microwave can be built by the knowledge and skills of a single man. Additionally you are not thinking holistically. Take your computer: a device that needs the manpower of thousands to create. Such a device is only as cheap as it is because of mass production on an automated factory line. The true value thus cannot be measured by an individual computer but by the intrinsic value of the technology as a whole. This is hard to measure. I chose a 747 because 747s are not produced on a robotic factory line. They are built by machinists, so each plane is a more accurate measure of a products' true value. I am saying that in a capitalist economy. The majority of transactions are unfair. The lower class gets screwed perpetually. This is a fact of life.
