That's a pretty cynical take but there are some truly old businesses in the world where generations of families have worked and enjoyed a good life. Work can uplift people and be a centre of the community. Or it can be like most are today where you work away for some faceless shareholders who fire you when they need a stock price boost.
Did they? As good as the capitalists company owners life?
Or have they just been told that „this is the good life“?
I think the problem today is that a lot of work is actually not needed anymore. It’s just there to make a small elite richer and keep people under control.

Sometimes being able to buy a house and raise a family is a good enough life.
The question is, what would they have been able to buy without the exploitation?
