- _Algernon_ 4y agoConsumers create demand. Demand acts as a pulling force in the economy causing increased supply as the market adapts. But if that isn't sufficient on its own, elected leaders rule by the mandate of the electorate, making every adult in every democratic country share responsibility for the decisions of their elected leaders. Take your pick. Or don't and keep enjoying the benefits of capitalism without taking on the responsibility. But then you are no different to those who stood on the wrong side of history in the societal transitions of the past.
- wahnfrieden 4y agothanks for elaborating on what the neolib position is. though it's not even correct in terms of the point about history, see wengrow/graeber research for instance
- _Algernon_ 4y agoFeel free to elaborate on your point. I'm not doing your research for you.
