As a society we should have rules that prevent these problem from our capitalistic company creations.
It would be much easier than researching every business you want to interact with.
But because the rules vary by country and fewer rules generally mean less expenses, companies that behave badly and don't get caught or are overseas seem to have a competitive advantage.
- JKCalhoun 5y ago> our capitalistic company creations Grammar question for anyone: is it capitalistic or just capitalist? I keep seeing "-istic" tacked on to words these days, feel it is incorrect.
- Anthony-G 5y agoLike you, I thought the “-istic” suffix was superfluous but when I checked it out, it forms ‘adjectives from nouns or from other adjectives, with the meaning "of or pertaining to" the preceding component’¹. In this case, “capitalist” could be either a noun or an adjective while “capitalistic” is unambiguously an adjective. I tend to use “capitalist” as an adjective (pertaining to “capitalism”) as it’s usually clear from the context that the word is an adjective. However, it’s not wrong to use “capitalistic” and I’d say it’s a matter of personal style rather than grammar. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-istic#English https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-istic#English
