lesterman Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Who are the capitalists and how will they make more money. Why should I tell you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesterman Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 But if there's a low workforce, how would that be making money for the capitalists ? Because they make their workforces work more cheaply as they are fearful of losing their jobs and thus enjoy a bigger margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Because they make their workforces work more cheaply as they are fearful of losing their jobs and thus enjoy a bigger margin. But wouldn't that mean the workforce would have less money to spend. If they have less money to spend they can't buy as many things as they used to and at the cost they used to pay. So the price of the things would have to come down or the business would sell less of them and make less profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 What is it the Tories always spout? "Unemployment is a worthwhile price to pay for low inflation". Unfortunately they've given us the high unemployment....plus the high inflation. Still, it won't affect them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm surprised we haven't already had the swivel eyed wingnuts on here saying the rise in unemployment is due to lazy people being mollycoddled and living the life of riley on benefits.

Anyone would sound a bit bonkers (including you) when they make such ridiculous sweeping statements about the majority the population of England. I don't think that you're bonkers - did you mean something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
