That's the part that really bothers me.For marx, (and for capitalism) it isn't so much that labor is undervalued as it is that value is created by extracting so-called excess productivity from labor. In addition this this, it turns out that wage theft is the single largest category of theft in the us, and not by a little bit, to boot. It's a nice racket they've got going no matter how we might feel about it. If you can offer someone ten dollars for twenty dollars of work and then not even pay them that, well, you're in business - literally.
