You are correct, economic activity under capitalism is positive-sum. And that makes the exploitative behavior of megacorporations and their leaders that much worse. The economic pie is growing rapidly, but ruthless cost-focused management that treats employees as "resources" keeps unskilled laborers continually on the edge. The larger the organization, the more the leaders can insulate themselves from the human reality on the ground, which in turn makes it easier to justify policies that fail to treat workers with basic human decency, let alone provide them the opportunity to share in the the economic surplus they produce. It takes work and discipline for leaders to avoid this without external coercion, and that is in demonstrably short supply.
