a capitalist system would quickly fall apart if EVERYONE was a manager. who would row the boat??? the manager class is always a minority that is rewarded disproportionately. thus persistent hooman unhappiness.

no matter how rich every country gets, even assuming climate change and limited resources problem is solved, the you-can’t-have-9-managers-for-each-rower problem still persists. a hierarchy of value is intrinsically a logN structure that produces a minority of elites at the top

perhaps once we create robot ais the problem is solved. everyone can be a manager. there is sth to this argument. in tech computer managers can have equal or higher rank than people managers
