>>They do? Global poverty is at an all time low. Things only the 1% had 10 years ago are now in the hands of almost every single individual, information no one had access to 30 years ago is now available to everyone in milliseconds. I'd say capitalism is doing just fine. It's not about material possessions. It's about power and representation. Wealthy people have an absurd amount of influence on the political process, and as their wealth increases in proportion to that of the poor, so does their influence. Capitalism as an economic system may be fine. The problem is the way it is tightly intertwined with our political process and governance. |
