I suppose what this boils down to is that you and I fundamentally disagree on what makes someone wealthy. The below is an interesting take on the old parable of the fisherman and the investment banker. Capitalism is not the be all, end all of economic systems. It is certainly the system that best enables federated wealth-building, but it is not like everybody benefits equally. For real-life proof, have a look at the Banana Republics from the early 20th Century that profiteers created in Latin America.

- bedhead 13y agoHmm, how do I put this gently? Let me try. I hate to break this to you, but you dont have the ability to "fundamentally disagree" on something like this. Put simply, you dont know what you're talking about. You obviously dont know anything about economics, and to the extent that you've read something it's clearly been selective in order to fit your worldview. You can disagree with me and be wrong if you insist on it, because these things you're saying are fundamentally and demonstrably wrong. You might as well tell me the sun rises in the west.
