The laws are not generally part of capitalism, but imposed upon it to prevent various harmful activities. Pollution is an example: capitalism itself (the private ownership of the means of production) has no mechanism that could deal with it.
- lacampbell 7y agoIt absolutely has a mechanism - property damage the private ownership of the means of production Is there any reason you're using marxist terminology?
- incompatible 7y agoProperty damage is a consequence, not a method of prevention? The damage won't necessarily happen at the place of origination. I'm not sure why you say it's Marxist terminology. It's more or less what Wikipedia uses. Is there another definition that you'd prefer?
