elaboration: ownership + people = human captial, the most valuable form of capital, that fact is not lost on capatalists. Sure people are actually paid more often then not for labour, a few cents a day technically makes you employed but that's not really the point. Not to mention "wage slaves" or various other forms of slavery, it makes it increasly difficult to consider yourself a 'free' individual the more you're dependant on abstracted forms of wealth like credit or are in the absolute service of some larger entity for your survival. Not to mention that a lot of money people earn is spent on more things that a small minorty profit from even more subsequently making your life as a consumer in the servatude of this 'master' the capatilist machine.

Human capital is talked about in this book a little. But it's more about natural resources and unsustainable economies.
