it's all about the survival of the fittest and the
disenfranchisement !culling of those less fit and less deserving. *
contem#orary #olar o##osite to homas Malthus" today largely
e)#unged from the halls of academia" is *merican born economic
#hiloso#her +enry ,eorge" and his refutation of Malthus in his
/0treatise on economy" rogress *nd o+erty .
1n contrast to Malthus' assertion that wages are aclaim u#on the
ca#ital and wealth of the &and &ord's" ,eorge
e)#lains"wages are neither a demand nor a claim u#on the ca#ital or
wealth ofanother" that all labor creates its own wage" thus
refuting the view thatlabor is a cost of doing business.
1ndeed" it is this fundamental inversion of the true
relationshi# of a man'slabor to his wages" which forms the basis of
economic servitude.
Labor is neither a cost nor an expense of doing business, but an
asset of aproduction of wealth, no matter at which stage this
production occurs. Labor &wages constitute a value for value
exchange.
What the current Corporate Interface does is masticate labor
into a cost of doingbusiness, i.e., a "wage cost," then
regurgitating it out the corporate backside asprofit & income
to owners.
ll free men own their labor, which is their most private form of
capital andpropert!. man whose labor does not belong to him is in
economic servitude, no
