Show me any economic system that has ever existed that did not involve mass work. The secret to the success of the advanced economies in the world (which are all market economies based on private ownership of the means of production, and yes, that includes Scandinavia) is that instead of trying to create a game and enforce the rules of the game, we instead try to understand the economic realities that will exist in any system and channel them toward beneficial outcomes. In contrast, every attempt to actually create a "game" or some kind of utopian engineered economy has done worse. |

Explain to me how a model that feeds off of a lowly-paid (relative to the small percent of upper-class citizens) slave labor can be called successful?
Are Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos wealthy because of their hard labor? Or are they wealthy simply because they were smart enough to figure out "the game"?
Here is the hard truth: It doesn't matter how hard you work. It's like how, in a war, the winner is not the side that has more soldiers. Winner is usually the side which can do most using the least percent of it's forces.
Try to avoid playing the game. It's rigged from the start.
