Why Worker Exploitation is a Myth

Why Worker Exploitation is a Myth

We've heard more in the news from the likes of Bernie Sanders and AOC that 'workers are being exploited' and 'without the people actually building the products the business owners wouldn't have any of the wealth they have' and so on. It seems plausible on its face and I was planning on writing a piece about how it all falls apart once you spent 10 seconds thinking about it, but then I ran into Antony's piece over at the Mises Institute. It is easy to digest and attacks the fallacy using simple logic. Absolutely fantastic and worthy read.
