Whatta cynic! Of course there is an “invisible hand of the market”. Subverted from time to time, but that doesn’t mean it’s not real.

I guess this is some kind of satire ...
rails against capitalism ...
but
quote from article ...
How did we scrape together your tuition while I was out of work? We turned our shed into an Airbnb, our mailbox into a FedEx dropbox,

so capitalism bailed them out when capitalism failed them.

Government is to the hand of the market as Islam is to the hands of 9etty thieves. So when it’s broken we bksme the market and pine for more of what broke it. D’oh! [eyeroll]

Looked it up and was a spelling sort of problem.

It IS LuLaRoe.

A pyramid scam like Amway.

Ummm… yes it is.

Just because you don’t understand the concept doesn’t mean the effect isn’t true.

An example of child abuse.

Son…work hard, work smart, give more value than what you charge, think and grow rich.

And above all, don’t fall for the Marxism crap.

The big mistake about "free market theory" is that it assumes that all human beings are "rational actors," in the sense that they all make decisions based solely on their economic interest. That all people regard other people as fellow "rational actors," and everyone seeks to maximize profits, minimize costs.

But people are not interchangeable "rational actors." They make decisions based on tribal loyalty. They'll take economic hits to promote their family, friends, ethnicity, religion, nationality, values, beliefs, concepts of honor, and to block or hinder their tribal opponents.

People are not automatons, doing cost benefit analyses upon every human interaction, calculating only the profits and losses and nothing else.

The "free market," such as it is, is messy, irrational, and unpredictable. And yes, at times it can even be inefficient, unfair and immoral.

In a way Evolution is a lot like natural markets. It is quite amazing the numerous innovations nature has come up in the selfish pursuit of survival for individual species. The invisible hand is not alone.

John Adams wisely said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

The same holds true for Capitalism. It only works good in a moral society. Today’s America is so corrupted everything good is destroyed.

When capitalism fails, it is usually for 1 of 2 reasons. Government intervention in free markets, or criminal behavior. Sometimes, one in the same.
