Hi all,
I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.
If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.
Cheers!
We may not be quite there yet, be we’re firmly going in that direction. An ever smaller number of gigantic corps owning ever more of… everything.
The mechanistic reasoning might be plausible, but is there any actual examples of a modern capitalist society regressing back to some form of feudalism to any significant degree?
The point where I’d be worried is when a single company is the majority of a country’s GDP or has complete control over the government. The only examples I can think of that even get close to these possibilities are South Korea’s Chaebols or Hong Kong’s corporate voting block.
