But in that summary, he speaks of the contradiction of treating your employees/"servants" in one manner and expecting them, as customers to spend in another. That need to find balance, to price your products appropriately and to compete for the customers is what makes capitalism function
Explain yourself please. What Chesterton wrote of capitlsm contains no beauty, a country of many paupers and few rich, is not a place where any free man would choose to live in.
Chesterton does not say: “treating your employees/”servants” in one manner and expecting them, as customers to spend in another. That need to find balance, to price your products appropriately and to compete for the customers is what makes capitalism function”
Chesterton says the Master: “wants to pay him like a pauper but expects him to spend like a prince”.
Chesterton speaks nothing about a fare wage, or anything about the treatment of the employees. He is talking only about an unjust wage. “wants to pay him like a pauper but expects him to spend like a prince”.
