1. To me something surprising to see was the surplus and just how high it is. French economist says that %166 surplus emerged which means that for every $90 an employee makes, the owner would make $149.40. But let’s bump it up even more that same employee that makes $90 a day and assuming the employee works 5 days a week for a year, that employee would make 23.400 and the owner would make 62,244 minus 23,400 paid to the employee, it leaves the owner with 38,844 profit.
2. Education inequalities, wealthier parents usually send their children to expensive school and better education, they also live in safe neighborhoods and the students end up getting a better degree due to having the money for college. Others only graduate high school and because they are wealthy due to their parents, they get higher paying jobs. Sometimes it’s their own parents that give their kids a position on their own business and earn more than any student who went to a public school and just starting college.
Your observations about surplus value and education inequalities highlight important aspects of economic and social disparities. The example of the 166% surplus illustrates how capitalists benefit disproportionately from the labor of employees, as owners accumulate significant profits while workers receive a relatively smaller share. This dynamic of unequal distribution of wealth, where owners make substantially more from the output of labor, reinforces economic inequality.
Similarly, your point about education inequalities underscores how wealthier families are able to provide their children with access to better resources, schools, and opportunities, perpetuating a cycle of privilege. This leads to an uneven playing field, where wealthier individuals have greater chances of securing high-paying jobs, sometimes through family connections or inherited wealth, while those from less privileged backgrounds face more barriers to achieving the same level of success. These disparities in education and wealth distribution contribute to the persistence of inequality in society, making it difficult for those in lower socioeconomic classes to advance.
