That's why I wrote "supposed". In reality it's a lot more complex than that, but it is usually one argument brought forward to explain why CEOs are being paid more than the workers they manage.

did that bought a pizza shop and increased sales 50% and I got a bankruptcy out of it. because the other part of it is at a lower cost. I pretty much felt Adam Smith's hand smacking me in the face with every tweak. open more hours sales go up just enough to cover costs. increase menu items. lower items. lower prices. raise prices. advertise more the advertising company makes more money but only enough to cover food and labor.

you're wrong. if some good is over valued for long enough market dynamics kick in and the price will go down.

That's the Econ 101 textbook statement, not reality.
