- wahnfrieden 4y agoOne does work, the other captures the surplus value of that work Sometimes the employer is also acting as a worker but not necessarily and they get to keep the surplus either way That seems like a pretty clear distinction to me

- wahnfrieden 4y agoWorkers are a variable cost. A business where the surplus goes to workers ongoing instead of profiting its owners is a failure, or a worker’s cooperative.
- kbelder 4y agoA lot of economic confusion is caused by people not understanding that 'employer' and 'employee' are just peers making a trade.
