According to Karl Marx, laborers really produced all wealth, and the business owners (capitalists) were the recipients of the wealth in the form of profits.

This is true.

Explanation:

Marxist theory follows David Ricardo´s labor theory, stating that human labor is the source of value. The capitalist does not pay workers for the full added value of the good produces, he only pays them a salary for subsistence. What remains is surplus labor and it creates surplus value. The capitalist takes his profit from this surplus value. Thus he exploits workers.
