Hi.

This article begs a Freeper response.

I am not a genius, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn recently...

It really is as simple as human nature....

People exchange goods and services. Bartering or a form of currency facilitates the exchange. What I have just described is a market, with SCARCITY as the catalysis.

Capitalism facilitates markets to produce the biggest bang for the buck. For an example food, electricity, etc. that have made western civilization possible.

Economics is not taught in the schools anymore. We're doomed.
