"... capitalism’s intrinsic reliance on taking
more than its share in any one economic transaction. "
What does that even mean? Capitalism the ideology takes more than its fair share of any one transaction? How does an ideology take a share? Does he mean bankers take more than their fair share?
What is a "fair" share?
If that is in the first paragraph, what hope can the reader have that this guy is going to think rigorously about things in the rest of his paper?
- skilesare 12y agoI could have been clearer here. I had a debate with a Randian that was trying to convince me that taxation was theft and I leaned a little too far in that direction with this paper. I specifically talking about the fact that a lot of 'profit' or 'economic' rent takes advantage of the disadvantage a person is in. For example, the gas stating that charges $50 for an empty gas can to the guy that just walked 5 miles because his car ran out of gas. Of course you CAN charge it, but should you?
