Wealth Concentration

• Walmart pays an average of $25k for full time people at about $13 per hour. [1] That is 20x less than the revenue per employee. Employees earn 5% of what they bring in. The missing piece of info is what is the net revenue per employee.
• Is there a name for this number? There needs to be.
• The closest existing ratio for this is the Wage Ratio - ratio of pay of top to bottom wage.
• A reasonable name should be value capture ratio. For an owner operator, the ratio is 1. For Walmart, it is 5%.

OSE Case - Value Capture Ratio

The ratio of what percentage of revenue the agent controls. For example, if one controls (allocates) all the revenue generated - then the IVR is 1. This means one is self-employed - and this person controls all the revenue they generate. If one is a Walmart employee, the VCR = 0.05.

• OSE proposes in general that that a higher value capture ratio is more desirable than a lower one. Achieving a global ratio of 1 means that everyone is self-employed.
• For mass creation of right livelihood, VCR of 1 is good. If there is an infrastructure for marketing, and R&D - that is a cost included in the distributed enterprises.
• VCR=1 has the potential to be non-controversial, as it can possibly satisfy both the 'capitalists' and 'socialists'. VCR does not cap revenue, it just caps Parasitic Economic Behavior.

Individual Value Ratio (IVR)

Individual value ratio (IVR) should be a minimum of 1 for a an entry level collaborator. This is defined as revenue generated to earnings per collaborator. Collaborator is anyone who works with OSE.
