Hi all,

I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

    Speaking of short term gains, sure,
    but isn’t it possible to imagine more long term capitalistic goals aligning with actually preserving our well-being?

      There’s no such thing as long term capitalistic goals. That’s the entire point of things like the stock market. The goals of a capitalist enterprise is to make as much money as quickly as possible.
