Industrialists vs Farmers and Workers: The Truth of Inequality

Industrialists vs Farmers and Workers: The Truth of Inequality

The products of industrialists always receive a guaranteed price. That is why they become rich, and because of their wealth they gain social prestige. They are considered capable and successful, and there is no doubt that they are indeed capable.

But the truth is, they become rich only because of the hard labor of workers and the produce of farmers. Simply investing capital and earning profit is far easier than working day and night, sweating endlessly, to create the actual products.

Yet the irony is that hardworking laborers do not get the proper value of their sweat. They remain poor. Because of poverty, they neither gain social prestige nor are they considered capable.

The reality is that a country does not run on the capital of industrialists but on the sweat of workers and farmers. If a person works hard day and night and still remains poor, the fault does not lie with that person but with the system.

The same situation applies to farmers. They produce food for everyone, but their crops never get a guaranteed price. As a result, they remain poor as well and gain no special respect in society.

It is often said that farmers and workers are less educated. But real education is not only about school and college degrees. Farming knowledge is also education; production experience is also education. The only difference is that they do not receive certificates for it.

The root cause of poverty in the country is this— the lack of proper respect and fair price for the physical and intellectual labor of workers and farmers. Until the economic distribution system is reformed, poverty cannot be eradicated.
