question

Neoclassical economists developed a production function in which all the factors of production (land, capital, labor) received the value of their marginal product; that is, the interest paid to capital equals the contribution capital makes to the product, wages paid to labor equals the value of the marginal product of labor, etc. Some economists suggested that this result showed that the distribution of free, competitive capitalism is morally right and just. Whatis wrong with this suggestion?
