The capitalist mode of production relies on extracting the surplus value of the worker. Simply put, people have jobs because the company makes more money with the worker than without the worker. I have never heard any economist, heterodox or not, claim otherwise.

And your phrasing can't reconcile why "90% of startups fail".

You're making a values judgment that's talking past this thread.
