Marx Ratio Unjust

Decent Essays
Marx believed that profits are invested into the economy which increases capital. With that being Marx belief, I believe he would have condemned the findings unjust. I also believe that he would see the ratio as exploitation because those numbers are unfair. I think that it is unfair for a CEO to make that much more than a typical worker although they are not as high as a CEO in a company. Under Marx, I think he would see these ratio’s as exploitation just because of how he feels about capital accumulation.
I believe we should view the ratios as unjust. I just don’t think it is right for the ratios to be as high as they are. I know that in a perfect world, the CEO has an increase in pay compared to an average worker just from their position

    Marx thought it only a matter of time before the working class as a whole rose up and over threw the rich. That the line would eventually be pushed too far, that the workers would reach the end of what they were willing to endure. Bourgeois and proletarians, or the rich and the poor were in a constant struggle for control and that the proletarians would eventually rise up and take control of what was rightfully theirs. That the workers could and would take being ground into the dirt for the gain of others for only so long. Once the proletarians had taken control, the means of production would be distributed among publically owned corporations.…

    In all of American history, the economic system in place has always been capitalism. With capitalism comes greed. With greed typically comes great disparity in people’s incomes. While true that a doctor or a physicist should definitely make more than a garbage man, a boss should definitely have a limit on how high his pay can be when compared to his employees, whether it be through morals or law. In this way, we ensure that workers are…

    While, Marx lived in London in the 1900s where disease was rampant and living and working conditions was so poor for many and there was a sense of a failed society. This shows why Marx could have a more revolutionary view. Also there is obvious differences in the mode of production Ken and Phil describe Marx’s ‘production as a basis of social organisation’ there is a focus on the ‘forces of production’ and the ‘relations of production’. While Adam smith would not agree with this and focus on the main elements of capitalist mode of production being ‘commodity…

    I have never thought about the way wealth is distributed in the U.S. until you showed us the chart where it talked about how much the top 1% make compared to the rest of the U.S. the numbers were staggering. I would have never believed that a small amount of the population could account for so much of the wealth in the United States. This wasn’t even the worse; the gap between the rich and the working class just keeps on growing and growing. “The bottom 80% of the population combines for only 4.7% of the wealth compared to the next 20% of the population combines for 95.3% of the wealth.” (Gooch).…

    According to the equity theory, employees will compare their outcomes-to-inputs ratio to the ratio of a comparison other, and their motivations depend on what happens to other people. If after the comparison, they find that they are experiencing an underreward inequity or overreward inequity, they may adjust their outcomes or inputs. In this case, the company cannot increase their wages, which means that it is hard for them to change the outcomes they received, so they may just steal from the company, leave the company, or change their inputs by working less hard. Based on the analysis above, distributive and procedural justice is extremely important. On the one hand, for the distributive justice, I do not think the employees in this case are in team-based work, so the proper norm is equity, with more outcomes allocated to those who contribute more inputs, so it is important to let the employees decide if outcomes are allocated fairly, and in this case, the outcome is the wage increase.…

    Marx believes that as long as man works according to his ability, he should earn the same as those who are more able than he is. I do not agree with Marx’s beliefs that when man works according to his ability he will earn as much as those who are more skilled than him. Just because a person may work the same amount as their fellow co-workers does not mean that worker produces the same results as his peers. When Marx thinks that “a worker should not only earn the same as her colleagues, if she works according to her ability, but also earn according to her needs” (Marx, Karl and Engels, Friedrich. “The Communist Manifesto”.…

    John Rawls and Karl Marx both see equality as an important value in human society; indeed, they both see it as something people are entitled to and as the foundation upon which the ideal society is built. However, they diverge drastically in how they conceptualize the way an egalitarian society would operate and how they believe such a society could be achieved. Concerning the former, Marx envisioned a communist utopia, whereas Rawls was a strong believer in liberal democracy. In terms of the latter, Marx was a staunch believer in proletarian revolution, while Rawls believed in perfecting the existing system through democratic reforms. Their contrasting visions stem partly from the different periods in which they wrote.…

    1. Karl Marx explains social inequalities through a society being stratified along economic lines and social class being defined solely on economic position. According to Marx, a person’s economic position is their relationship to means of production, which defines social class. Based on an industrial society, he defined social class by two classes; the capitalist class (Bourgeoisie) and the working class (Proletariat). Marx felt strongly against capitalism and believed that everyone should have a communistic society, which would have no surpluses so only what is needed by the people would be produced.…

    There are also both positive and negative impacts of immigration on the economy and businesses. A positive aspect of immigration is that it is invaluable when there is a labour shortage, such as after WWI and WWII where Pakistani and Indian immigrants were invited to work in Britain. There is also the benefit of immigration helping to provide sustainable types of business such as that of Chinese restaurants. However there are negative aspects too, with immigration concentrations in particular areas putting stress on the public sector for certain services. Immigration however can also result in competition for jobs, which then causes businesses to lower wages as there are ample people willing to do them.…
