If a business or industry claims it just can’t make ends meet without exploiting its workers, then our answer should be the same as when southern plantation owners made the same ‘economic’ argument. (mstdn.ca)

Capital is very important, but it's also a massive undertaking, it literally takes years to finish if one engages with it properly, taking notes. I'm still getting through it myself slowly myself and it did debunk a ton of "leftist assumptions" I had.

Though when it comes to wages, how they work and how they are exploitative, instead of Capital I'd recommend Wage Labour and Capital. It's only around 1 hour read, and gets to this exact point much sooner as a result.
