By the way, Marx literally predicted wages stagnating even as production increases. I’ve also added some other benchmarks to help gauge where earners would stand given how much they currently earn.
25k in 2020-> 57k
35k in 2020-> 80k
45k in 2020-> 103k
50k in 2020-> 108k
75k in 2020-> 172k
100k in 2020-> 229k
They are not linear because we are multiplying by the percent difference and not just adding. So instead of ($x1973)+($y2020) it is (x1973)•(productivity%2020-compensation%2020)
I guess I don’t understand the whole framework then. I looked around a bit and found this post, is it where the context for these numbers/calculations come from?
The calculations are mine but that is the numbers
