Horribly written, meandering article that a) doesn't argue nearly as strongly as the title implies and b) doesn't get to the real argument til nearly the last sentence which is:
TL;DR - When we allow capitalism to play out without rules, and learn anew how labor gets exploited under that scenario, we may recall why we had rules in the first place.
Maybe, but the author doesn't examine this issue with any depth at all.
- mcphilip 12y agoStrange to see this (currently) heavily down voted. It's a great summary of the hollowness of the article.
- lutusp 12y agoAs far as I'm concerned, when there are more downvotes than comments attached to a given post, something's fishy -- it could mean an attempt to suppress a particular outlook by underhanded means, like multiple HN accounts controlled by one person, each account with enough karma to begin downvoting in earnest. EDIT: boys and girls, it's another example of self-reference!
