It was a group effort
Yeah, a group effort, lol
The laborers planned and built the stuff, and the owners took the profits. Good job team!
Which group?
Capital and labor, both are intertwined and cannot exist without the other
Sure, but labor consists of the de facto responsible actions of persons while capital is a dead tool. When thinking about assigning legal responsibility for the positive and negative results of an action, we only look at the de facto responsible party and lay the legal responsibility for the whole result on them. For example, if a crime is committed with a gun, the gun isn't held liable. Inanimate objects conduct responsibility back to the persons using them and cannot be responsible
On the part of labor. No matter how causally efficacious capital is. It can never be de facto responsible for anything because responsibility is imputed through the tools back to the workers using them.
