Capitalism only works in the long run if people care about each other. This takes a Judeo-Christian attitude in the West, or Confucian societal organization in the East. Greed destroys capitalism and brings on socialism, which then destroys everything.
Good comment. I think our government is too involved in the economy, and what we have now is really Crony Capitalism, or what they used to call Fascism, which is a Left-wing Collectivist political philosophy. I don’t like where we are, and I think our society was a lot better 50 years ago.
But I’m lost as to the solution. Passing new laws to cripple “bad” corporate practices seems like something Mamdani would do. So I’m not in favor. But I look around and I get sad.
