This is more proof of what I argue. We are monetary slaves. We have not been able to reap the increase production that came from the technology we developed or the physical capital we've built up from our ancestors over-working. Over time you should be able to do less work and have more prosperity and security from it as conditions improve.
But they can moderate how much the average man has through monetary slavery to keep us at full production without having too much excess consumption. Of course they need the lowest earners to be able to survive. And top earners are going to make some multiple of what the worst can. So of course there is excess for many. But that excess doesn't grow and it doesn't match the economic development we as workers have generated.
Human progress is exponential. So the mandatory level of work per day should be on an exponential decay. It should be halving every 20 years. So if your parents worked a 40 hour week you should be working a 20 hour week. The generation below us should be on a 10 hour week if what happened in the 1970s never occurred.
But our masters want maximal production. Everyone getting by fine on 10 hours a week is not maximal production. They need the average person working a number of hours that is marginally bearable. They want you on the edge of happy. If you were solidly happy and feeling like most of your life is yours then you wouldn't be contributing enough for their system for them to be happy with you.
