It's hard to define what is fair. If you're a CEO, your definition of fair will likely be different from a person working at minimum wage. In fact a CEO's definition of fair could be different from 99% of the population. People in advantageous but unfair situations will justify the situation, while people with the short end of the stick will do the opposite. With wealth inequality higher than ever before, most people see a CEO's salary as astronomically unfair. Do CEO's really have some super power that a minimum wage worker doesn't have? Can one man's intelligence, good looks, charm, or physical strength actually be worth 1000% more than another man? Hard to say. Although capitalism promotes incredible growth and works for the most part, there is a reason why communism became popular in many countries. It stems from a fundamental discontent about the definition of fairness and wealth among the proletariat. So if you want the real answer to the question of "What is fair?" I would say "Ask the majority."
