The meme is a humorous take on the concept of labor theory of value, a left-wing economic theory that argues the value of a product is determined by the labor that goes into producing it. The image is a screenshot of a Twitter post from Bloomberg, with a photo of Karl Marx (the "Marx" meme) Photoshopped onto the face of a character from the TV show "The Office," with a caption that reads "Why don't workers get the full benefit of rising productivity? No one has good answers." The meme is poking fun at the idea that Marx's labor theory of value is still relevant in modern times, and that the concept of labor value is still relevant in the context of the modern economy.
