| > value is created by extracting money from a product Nope. It is created by creating something valuable that other people want to pay for. > value actually is created by the work it takes to create said product That's the Labor Theory of Value, which is a Marxist tenet and has been thoroughly discredited. For example, a CEO can decide to take Bunker Hill, or take Sausage Hill. If he picks the more profitable hill, he created more money, with the same amount of labor. > the value was created by her recording the music, not by her selling tours. Nope. It was selling tickets to her concerts that made her a billionaire, not her music. That's why she did the concerts. BTW, why do you think that some concerts charge more for tickets than other concerts? For the same amount of labor setting up the concert? |
