Information is the model for both natural and social sciences.

If wages for labor rose in the industrial era and are declining in the information era then those prices (wages) are telling us something.

If wages for problem solvers was limited in the era of concentrated capital (early industry), and is expanding in the era of distributed capital between temporary alliances of firms – then we should see increasing wages where capital is concentrated and decreasing wages where distributed.
