Preferred by the monopoly and nobody else, is what you mean, yes?
Which is to say it is against the will of the people,
- Datenstrom 8y agoAre you asserting that capitalists care about freedom and the will of the people?
- anoncoward111 8y agoCrony capitalists (what I would call mercantilists) certainly do not care about the will of the people. They are tyrants who hide behind a word they are corrupting. However I will defend to the death my right to exchange goods with you. I'm assuming you and I are just normal citizens who don't control multi-billion dollar businesses?
- ishjoh 8y agoI'm going to use the first definition of capitalist I found on google: "a wealthy person who uses money to invest in trade and industry for profit in accordance with the principles of capitalism." As we know there is a huge spectrum of investment strategies, from VCs to Bond holders etc. Some capitalists like VCs, absolutely value market freedom, others likely don't, but it's too large a swatch of people to generalize by saying they don't care about economic freedom.
