          Money is freely given in exchange for a good or service. Where does the theft take place?

            Pretty much every time you pay more for something than its worth (which is basically every time) just so some CEO can pocket the rest.

              If you pay more for something than its worth, you're lazy or stupid.

                Agree.

                The same could be said for people who support an economic system that forces everyone to pay more for things than they are worth.

                          To be fair, he does go off on academic administration as well, so it isn't like he isn't looking at his own backyard either.

                              You don't pay more for what you buy than it's worth. You pay less. Learn some econ.

                                There is no such thing as objective value. The value of an object or a service is not intrinsic to it. This has been the central assumption of modern economics since the 1870s. The value of an object is dependent only on how much of it there is and how desirable it is--in other words, supply and demand. That is why gold is expensive and air is cheap.

                                UTILITY is the happiness you get out of the object. This varies from person to person. People trade objects to increase their utility. They both gain utility. But the object is worth whatever was paid for it.
