Citation please.
It's become apparent to me that it does that until the workforce hits equilibrium at which point it divides people slowly into two classes, the lower of which is purely exploited by the upper.
NK just skipped the first bit.
- swombat 13y agoThe level of both classes is nevertheless much higher than the level of the earlier economy, before capitalism and its effects. Unrestrained capitalism may of course creates huge levels of inequality. Luckily, unrestrained capitalism was largely put to rest (in the western world) after the 1900s, via unions and other similar movements. Capitalism floats all boats, but not all equally. To ignore the fact that it floats all boats and point only add to the inequalities it creates is to miss the point.
- camus2 13y agoso if "Unrestrained capitalism" exists , what is basic capitalism? hypocrisy ? Yes it is. In order to work , capitalism need slaves. wether they are 10 miles from your home or on the other side of the earth,it doesnt matter. Capitalism got "restrained" in the West because people fought for basic rights, and many died during the process.
