Ah sorry, I'm a bit emotional about this because I see an ideology that says that people are worth less than before because of automation, don't find job because they don't look hard enough, are less paid 'cos they are no risk takers, etc. And often this ideology is (on purpose or not) presented as almost mathematical. It's not the fact that there is an ideology question that hurts me, it's that the language used to talk about it often implies it's almost natural.
Did it come to your mind that wages might be also seen as a way to share the value added by a company between the company itself and the workers ?
