● "70-Hour Workweeks and Peanuts" - It's Not Just "How Markets Work"
Claiming that grueling work hours and low wages are intrinsic to free markets oversimplifies a complex issue. Capitalism should mean fair exchange, not exploitation.
● "Founders' Fortunes vs. Employee Pennies" - Rethinking Entrepreneurial Rewards
Rewarding risk is valid, but amassing vast fortunes by underpaying employees raises ethical questions. Capitalism should be about equitable rewards, not just personal gain.
●"Don't Blame, Analyze the System" - Seeking Systemic Improvement
Critiquing capitalism isn't a personal attack; it's about refining the system. Understanding its flaws allows us to make it fairer for everyone.
●"Critique, Don't Opt Out" - Working Towards a Better Capitalism
Suggesting one should avoid capitalism if they criticize it oversimplifies the issue. Critique is a call for reform, not rejection. It's about making capitalism more equitable, not abandoning it.
No offense to the author, but the excessive toxicity that some folks spread across social media, be it on Twitter or LinkedIn, with others blindly hopping on board, really highlights how we sometimes let our critical thinking slide.
