    thieves are force to repay…

    Depends on your definition of theft. I define theft to include the net profits that are not shared with the workers.

    how would you describe their separate economy…

    Most of us don’t get to participate in IPOs and hedge funds. The capital needed for that has been stolen from us by people who refuse to share with us the fruits of our labor.

    “But you work for a wage that you agreed to take”

    Because the other option is to starve to death.

      That’s pessimistic… Food can be grown…

      How businesses would innovate without accumulating capital? What happens if they suffer a loss? What would they pay their workers?

      IMO it’s not theft, it’s just a price you’re paying for someone else to deal with risc possible losses while providing you stable income.

      Not talking about reserch, marketing and realization of goods/services, that someone without capital can’t do on their own.
