Subject: M-INTRO: new machinery


We recently had a question whether a worker has more value per hour after the
introduction of new machinery.  The problem with this question is it groups the
individual worker with the machine of course the worker is more valuable with a
machine. The machine should not be counted as part of the worker but part of
the company as a whole. The company is most definitely more valuable per hour,
but the individual worker is still putting in the same effort and being paid
the same so his value per hour should not change.
