If a person were treated/paid less than the worth of their labors value

It makes sense when they just kinda follow along not like they have the resources to go do something better so. Yea psychology. Lets get to the bottom of this.

Any employee is paid less than the worth of their labor's value(*). Where do you think do profits come from? 😑

(*) For details, see Dr. K. Marx, "The Capital", chapter 6, "The Buying and Selling of Labour Power".

@helenS i ran my own business for a few years. I never made any money. After I gave up I had to get a loan to pay my tax bill. Its good if you can make it work.

@Jacko1971 How sad! I'm not rich, but I can live from my work, and I don't need much. I live in the country, I'm a land owner, I have a large garden which provides me with most things I need.

@Jacko1971 @helenS business doesnt work without profit. My point is if profit is more important than the welfare of the employees whom allowi that profit with their labor. The workforce gets fed up right quick. Then production and profit plummets. Thus take care of the worker and ull make more money.

@helenS very good i also live witjin my means but the means they give me is barely enough effecting preformance reducing productivity
Does the employer want to keep making money or lose many of theiir workers?
