> How is capitalism supposed to work against people's human rights? By "capitalism" I assume we are still talking about "unrestrained corporate power". As such, I would remind you that corporations after often found guilty of wage theft, unsafe working conditions, unfair dismissal, spying on employees, and discriminatory hiring practices. None of those practices are strictly necessary for capitalism to function, but letting markets put "competent" people in charge is not going to prevent those abuses from happening. > The capitalists haven't had an enforcement arm since the days of the East India Company. I think you haven't been keeping up with modern developments of this practice.[0] > If human rights are getting systematically abused it is pretty much necessary that someone in government is responsible. So you agree that it is the government's responsibility to limit the actions of companies to prevent them from harming human rights? I think we're on the same page then.
