that’s a fair concern, but i’m not really sure how else to interpret the tucker. his main concern is inequality here, and is comfortable condemning everyone to wage labor (which i regard as a negative fate).

on the compensation point, it seems like he is implying that capitalists steal what rightly belongs to labor, but doesn’t posit any theory for determining what fair value could be. marx does, and i find his account convincing. ill have to check back in after Carson though
