Capitalism: The Foundation of Human Life and Morality
#15
RE: Capitalism: The Foundation of Human Life and Morality
I've got two problems with this. It's not built on people, its built on money. The free flow of money between individuals, yes, regardless of whatever borders or ethno-linguistical differences might lie ahead. Indeed, this in itself presents a lot of problems. Capitalism is an international form of thought, similar to communism, the only difference is where their conclusions lie about how much the government will interfere into the flow of the money.
My second problem is, it has no moral ideology behind it other than the factor of self-interest. On the other hand, truely moral ideologies are built upon the stones of self-sacrifice and a genuine care for public good.
Capitalism on the other hand simply assumes that things will be great if everyone acted in their self-interests. Though we know from life that interests of different people often clash and produce chaos.
