I've always been completely baffled by the point of view of hard-left-wingers.

But if there are many people who truly believe that economics is linear and zero-sum, that explains how they got there.

From this point of view, CEO's and billionaires are of course overpaid because they couldn't possibly type/talk/work/think a million times better than a thousandaire.

It's only when you internalize concepts that came up in the last couple of centuries, like leverage, positive sum growth, exponential economic growth, and exponential technological development that modern life makes sense.
