| Question 653: Is it true that the laborer is only interested in what he receives, i.e., the overall daily wage income, and not interested in what he gives, i.e., the overall daily labor? |
| [561] Kibosh: The laborer is essentially interested in the income they receive from a day's work. However, the worker must balance work with income. We all have bills and essential life costs. This is all part of our wage and capitalists know this. We work to sustain our living abilities with the minimal amont of time spent at work. According to Marx, we are paid just enough to live our lives at our socio-economic status and factory/business owners know this. |
| One thing which I don't think is fully addressed is the worker's interest in what he accomplishes. If the minimal, or below, output is given the worker is in jeopardy of losing his job and therefore his livelihood. It is a balance of the essential work and leisure. |
| This question is fairly basic but could diverge into many different categories which would be a good topic for a term paper but not so much an exam resubmission. So the answer is Yes. |
