Armchair theory: this is the fundamental difference between liberals and leftists. Liberals will assume that if you change the economic incentives, business owners will respond accordingly.
That runs smack into things like work from home or 4 day work weeks. We have evidence that workers will be as much or more productive doing things this way. Why are they opposing it, anyway? Power fits the explanation better than money. Perhaps there is a third option, but until someone comes up with a convincing one, I'll go with power.
Money is only a path to power. In a conflict between power and money, they will choose power.
See: Utopianism vs Scientific Socialism, or Idealism vs Materialism.
The ruling class cannot simply be convinced to give up power, even if it is more productive or moral.
