The article isn't a generic rant against capitalism. It is about monopolists' misuse of academic experts to protect themselves against antitrust legislation - which is designed to protect free markets, not replace them.
- deepfriedchokes 2y agoMy argument is that paying academic experts to protect themselves against actions that might impact profits is a normal and expected outcome of capitalism. Monopolies are also a natural outcome of capitalism. We keep trying to tame the breast that is capitalism, to domesticate it, but I do not believe, due to it’s natural design, that it can be tamed, and if we try to domesticate it, then it loses it’s teeth, so to speak, and will be unable to compete with other untamed capitalist systems.
