But then what about the corporations that rely on selling labor - outsourcing, software houses, even finance to some extent. Are they not capitalist?
One can argue that it’s the labourers that’s the resource, or it’s the information that’s the resource. But then why labor per-se isn’t? Or knowledge, the expertise.
Is the resource being finite the major factor? But a man can practise in his field only for so long.
For outsourcing, it’s the contracts that are the resource. These dictate how much labour will be transferred.
For software houses, it’s the information that’s the resource. It is usually proprietary IP and loaned to a third party.
In finance, capital itself is the resource, which is manipulated by workers to generate profit for the owner of if the capital.
In all of these cases the capitalist owns the resources in question. The workers need to provide labour so that these resources can be activated, but they get little to no say in how much they get paid. Does that answer your question?
