Also prices are too high. Apple for example, despite selling fewer items than other Computer stores, makes a lot more profit.
This changed in the mid-60s when the 'cost plus' model went out of fashion and 'charging what the market will bear' became the name of the game.
Under cost plus, if it cost your tuppence to make and market a bottle of water, you added 10% for profit, and that was it. The price of the item was related to the cost of production and marketing, salaries, etc.
In 'charing what the market will bear,' the game is played differently. The bottle of water still costs tuppence to make, but now you charge $10 because people need to drink, and the water has dried up. So you have people over a barrel.
This is just one very small example of what is happening.
But basically, here are the building blocks of what is happening.
1. Salaries are too low for workers and too high for owners.
2. Products are priced too highly.
3. Advertising should be banned. It's brainwashing people to buy things that they don't need.
