- jrajav 14y agoWhat advantage do they have in the maps market?
- rmah 14y agoThat is legal for non-monopolies.
- InclinedPlane 14y agoAre legality and morality interchangeable?
- lttlrck 14y agoIs morality a foundation of capitalism?
- chris_wot 14y agoDepends who you ask. Milton Friedman argued that capitalism cannot be seperated from freedom as "[e]conomic arrangements play a dual role in the promotion of a free society. On the one hand, freedom in economic arrangements is itself a component of freedom broadly understood, so economic freedom is an end in itself. In the second place, economic freedom is also an indispensable means toward the achievement of political freedom." [1] On the other hand, Karl Marx saw capitalism as dividing society into the haves and have nots - the haves being the bourgouise with all the wealth, and the have nots being the proleteriat who had none of the wealth. Marx, obviously, was not a fan. 1. https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/ipe/friedman.htm https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/ipe/friedman.htm
