Industrial Capitalism and Labor

The Karburator disrupts traditional labor and capitalism, making workers redundant and factories uncontrollable, while the Absolute's 'divine communism' forces a reevaluation of ownership, value, and work.

Bondy immediately focuses on mass-producing Karburators for profit, treating the Absolute as a manageable commodity.

The board meeting revolves around production, investment, and control of the Karburator factory.
