The goal of capitalism is to get enough money to escape capitalism and live a life of leisure. It’s not weird to want to quit and start a homestead or enjoy other hobbies. That’s normal. The people who want to keep working and refuse to retire are the weirdos. What is wrong with them that they just can’t enjoy a life of luxury on the beach and leave well enough alone?
- readthenotes1 2y agoThe goal of capitalism is not to get enough money to escape capitalism. The goal of capitalism is to get enough money to live on the revenue of your own wisely-invested capital instead of providing the wage labor paid for by other people's capital.
- m3t4man 2y agoI think the goal you describe is categorically wrong. If what you say was the case - billionaires wouldn't exist. Capitalism's primary focus is production. The more you produce, the more you are rewarded. Quantity has better profit margins than quality. So the winner is someone who can produce the most and reach the most customers. Digital products happen to be the best for it. They are, relatively to other products, easy to scale, produce, and even easier to distribute. Quality needs to be just good enough to make a sale.
