It’s well known in psychology. Freud even spoke about it.
Capitalism isn’t failing at all. It’s working quite well. Not sure why you’d think it’s failing. We just have a blip with inflation due to the pandemic.
I focus on tech because the insane wealth difference. Few people have the wealth of tech.
Virtually everything Freud thought up has been debunked. He’s influential in the field because he was early.
Capitalism is working quite well at its intended purpose of transferring wealth to the capitalists, but it’s not working for everyone else. It’s been an issue before the naked money-grabbing “inflation” of the pandemic, it’s just become even more apparent now. The insane wealth difference was already insane prior, it’s just gotten even more insane.
I would disagree. Most of what Freud has said can’t be debunked. It’s the way Freud created his theories. Who isnt it working for? The quality of life in America is second to none.
America shows capitalism works.
What country do you think is doing better that isn’t capitalism ?
If it can’t be debunked then it’s pseudoscience. Science requires a hypothesis be falsifiable. The quality of life in America is beaten by several countries. Take a look at any quality of life ranking. Here are a few: https://www.worlddata.info/quality-of-life.php https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/standard-of-living-by-country https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/rankings/quality-of-life https://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/rankings_by_country.jsp
The US doesn’t crack top ten in any of these. Look at life expectancy: https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/ https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?most_recent_value_desc=true
Asking for a country that “isn’t capitalism” is a trick question because a lot of these quality of life improvements come from socialist policies.
And which of those countries are not capitalist?
There is no such thing as socialist policies. Socialism is an economic system. Otherwise, America would be the largest socialist nation since we spend trillions on social programs.
This was your claim and I debunked it very easily. Do you think government-provided healthcare is capitalism? The US does spend a lot of money, but that doesn’t prove anything other than the US having a lot of money.
You didn’t debunk it. You gave a counter point.
Based on some arbitrary score, they feel we are lower.
Yet, we have millions of people trying to move here every year. I think that shows their score isn’t as accurate as they think c
We can always improve but it’s why people come here. The opportunity to do better.
Yes I think government provided health care can be part of capitalism. It seems like you don’t understand capitalism.
Did you know our founding fathers supported government healthcare?
I’ve offered rankings based on metrics, you’ve just offered your opinion, but somehow you think others are arguing based on feelings. People trying to move to the US just means places that are worse exist. No one is arguing against this. What part of government-provided health care is capitalism?
Capitalism is an economic system and not a political system. The hospitals were built with capital from investors.
The government is paying a rate to the hospitals. There is nothing in our political system that prevents that.
