The market in which he sells is "rigged" by the miserable inequalities produced by the robbery of the system of Capital and Wages. THE MARKET IN WHICH HE SELLS IS RIGGED BY THE MISERABLE INEQUALITIES PRODUCED BY THE ROBBERY OF THE SYSTEM OF CAPITAL AND WAGES
for it) which wastes the available labour-power of the civilized world, forcing many men to do nothing, and many, very many more to do nothing useful; and forcing those who carry on really useful labour to most burdensome over-work. For understand once for all that the “manufacturer” aims primarily at producing, by means of the labour he has stolen from others, not goods but profits, that is, the “wealth” that is produced over and above the livelihood of his workmen, and the wear and tear of his machinery. Whether that “wealth” is real or sham matters nothing to him. If it sells and yields him a “profit” it is all right. I have said that, owing to there being rich people who have more money than they can spend reasonably, and who therefore buy sham wealth, there is waste on that side; and also that, owing to there being poor people who cannot afford to buy things which are worth making, there is waste on that side. So that the “demand” which the capitalist “supplies” is a false demand.  THIS ROBBERY THERE IS NO OTHER WORD FOR IT WHICH WASTES THE AVAILABLE LABOUR POWER OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD FORCING MANY MEN TO DO NOTHING AND MANY VERY MANY MORE TO DO NOTHING USEFUL AND FORCING THOSE WHO CARRY ON REALLY USEFUL LABOUR TO MOST BURDENSOME OVERWORK FOR UNDERSTAND ONCE FOR ALL THAT THE MANUFACTURER AIMS PRIMARILY AT PRODUCING BY MEANS OF THE LABOUR HE HAS STOLEN FROM OTHERS NOT GOODS BUT PROFITS THAT IS THE WEALTH THAT IS PRODUCED OVER AND ABOVE THE LIVELIHOOD OF HIS WORKMEN AND THE WEAR AND TEAR OF HIS MACHINERY WHETHER THAT WEALTH IS REAL OR SHAM MEANS NOTHING TO HIM IF IT SELLS AND YIELDS HIM A PROFIT IT IS ALL RIGHT I HAVE SAID THAT OWING TO THEIR BEING RICH PEOPLE WHO HAVE MORE MONEY THAN THEY CAN SPEND REASONABLY AND WHO THEREFORE BUY SHAM WEALTH THERE IS WASTE ON THAT SIDE AND ALSO THAT OWING TO THERE BEING POOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY THINGS WHICH ARE WORTH MAKING THERE IS WASTE ON THAT SIDE SO THAT THE DEMAND WHICH THE CAPITALIST SUPPLIES IS A FALSE DEMAND
