> And it really is as simple as that. As society we have tremendously increased productivity, and most of it is taken/given to the owner of the capital, not the provider of labour.

You know that the increase in price could be simply... ehm.. inflation. So no productivity increase out there.

Inflation is important yes, but it hits the stocks and salaries the same. So the ratio between them are the same, and the moral of the story, that most of the wealth goes to the owners, remains.

But yeah, how amazing the productivity increase actually is is a bit more complicated.
