In a capitalist society, wealth accumulation by the capitalist class has no relation whatsoever to number of hours worked or level of productivity. It is in fact the opposite, their wealth increases non-linearly to any input; ownership is all that matters. The worker class however, the Foxconn employees you’re talking about, have a linear relationship to their income, and yes, are generally taken advantage of by the capitalist class. It doesn’t matter that Tim Cook is a salaried employee, he is still part of the capitalist class because his income depends largely on Apple’s stock performance.
