However, Karl Marx examined that in the case of capitalism, exploitation was essentially being hidden by the wage system. Leaving out cases of outright fraud, workers are employed, labour for a given number of hours, and then receive compensation in the form of a wage in return. On the surface it seems that a fair exchange is being observed, however this is far from the truth. The capitalist, in addition to purchasing various inputs into the productive process (machinery, raw materials, etc.) also

increasing productivity leads to an increase in profits, yet this effect only erodes over time as competitors copy the innovation of others. As new technologies and strategies spread the rate of surplus value declines whittling away at the profitability of companies within a sector. This is because surplus value comes from labor power and productivity reduces the amount of labor needed to produce a product. With this reduction in needed labors comes a decline in the rate of profit. Marx called this

Functionalism sees society as a system them interconnects with each other in different ways in order to form or maintain a stable and balanced society.

For this reason, Marx, Weber, Brenner, North and Thomas all hold different beliefs as to how capitalism emerged and how it has developed

Karl Marx would respond to the article, “Banks aren’t the only villains outsourcing jobs”, by Thomas Walkom with a sizeable difference of opinion. Marx would use his theory of surplus labor to identify why he disagrees with the idea of outsourcing. Marx’s theory of surplus labor refers to the idea that a certain amount of work completed each day creates no value for the laborer themselves, but instead value is created for the employer and or company in which the laborer is working.

Society and the laws by which it is governed are set by one thing and only one thing; humans. Normal people set and agree upon the laws, and abide by them in their daily lives, but not everyone is a normal person. The laws set by society do not apply to everyone, whether that be by legal exceptions, or just an immense amount of money and power. This is especially touched upon in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book, The Great Gatsby. In the book, Fitzgerald’s depiction of the problems of Tom Buchanan and Jay
