This time is [not] different, but where's that Wile E. Coyote Moment?

[Mark Kohut]

So what is the "right' share for workers? vs. owners (capital). Radical absolute equality?
 
Krugman has had a column about the increasing amount that has gone to 'capital' in recent decades,
even in technology companies. One thing he says or I extrapolate: the owners of patents and copyrights have
had increased earnings.........
 
(remember that tidbit in Lot 49 where the intellectual office worker laments that his creativity belongs to the company?)

so, I read somewhere about how part of the added value that owners of enterprises is the ability of a group to do more than the sum of individual efforts, so the "owner" reaps disproportionate rewards for the same, or often *much less* effort, than the enterprise pays other participants

that should of course read "...how part of the added value that owners of enterprises *receive*..."  (although "expect", "demand", "mulct" would all fit in that place, and many other words as well or better)
