These ideas are alluded to in the book Killing Sacred Cows and also in the book What would the Rockerfellers do. The total focus of the lower class and middle class on getting a job to support ones wife and children, and the opposite focus of the rich on founding or building upon a business to enrich one self off the labors of others and investment on ones capitol are very telling. The huge gains in value enjoyed by Amazon, Walmart and Facebook during this Pandemic when record unemployment exists worldwide further suggests your postulate about the relative low value of the average worker and the potential for businesses to not only survive but thrive in a low employment envirnment are scarily evident. I don't want to attack capitalists or investors, nor do I wish to announce the end of the world. But I suspect employment as we once knew it has been changed forever. Those amongst us who change and adapt, will survive and possibly thrive. Those that don't will find themselves increasing dependent on a pride crushing social welfare system. The writing is on the wall, but how many of us are reading it?
The amount of profit per worker is astounding in these companies and that is based on the average. If one was to look what the top 10% of them get, it makes the eyes water.
Yes and this is why the education systems will collapse from what they are today - as they no longer satisfy the needs of why they were created. They aren't about gaining knowledge, they are about training conformity.
Very few - but we are educated enough to be illiterate in these things.
