Keynes was a jerk and every country that atempted to folow his lead ended up in heavy debt, bankrupt. His statement is bullshit because "capitalism" is just a word for FREEDOM. People are free to work and to buy whatever they want. So in the end every one is responsible for what is doing with the money, if you like apples buy apples, if you want trap porn go for it. And this is what makes capitalism better. Each buck you spend you are voting to elect the winner of free market.

“So you think that money is the root of all evil?” said Francisco d’Anconia. “Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?
“When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears not all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper, which should have been gold, are a token of honor–your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money, Is this what you consider evil?

“Have you ever looked for the root of production? Take a look at an electric generator and dare tell yourself that it was created by the muscular effort of unthinking brutes. Try to grow a seed of wheat without the knowledge left to you by men who had to discover it for the first time. Try to obtain your food by means of nothing but physical motions–and you’ll learn that man’s mind is the root of all the goods produced and of all the wealth that has ever existed on earth.
“But you say that money is made by the strong at the expense of the weak? What strength do you mean? It is not the strength of guns or muscles. Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think. Then is money made by the man who invents a motor at the expense of those who did not invent it? Is money made by the intelligent at the expense of the fools? By the able at the expense of the incompetent? By the ambitious at the expense of the lazy? Money is made–before it can be looted or mooched–made by the effort of every honest man, each to the extent of his ability. An honest man is one who knows that he can’t consume more than he has produced.’

“To trade by means of money is the code of the men of good will. Money rests on the axiom that every man is the owner of his mind and his effort. Money allows no power to prescribe the value of your effort except the voluntary choice of the man who is willing to trade you his effort in return. Money permits you to obtain for your goods and your labor that which they are worth to the men who buy them, but no more. Money permits no deals except those to mutual benefit by the unforced judgment of the traders. Money demands of you the recognition that men must work for their own benefit, not for their own injury, for their gain, not their loss–the recognition that they are not beasts of burden, born to carry the weight of your misery–that you must offer them values, not wounds–that the common bond among men is not the exchange of suffering, but the exchange of goods. Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men’s stupidity, but your talent to their reason; it demands that you buy, not the shoddiest they offer, but the best that your money can find. And when men live by trade–with reason, not force, as their final arbiter–it is the best product that wins, the best performance, the man of best judgment and highest ability–and the degree of a man’s productiveness is the degree of his reward. This is the code of existence whose tool and symbol is money. Is this what you consider evil?
“But money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver. It will give you the means for the satisfaction of your desires, but it will not provide you with desires. Money is the scourge of the men who attempt to reverse the law of causality–the men who seek to replace the mind by seizing the products of the mind.

“Money will not purchase happiness for the man who has no concept of what he wants: money will not give him a code of values, if he’s evaded the knowledge of what to value, and it will not provide him with a purpose, if he’s evaded the choice of what to seek. Money will not buy intelligence for the fool, or admiration for the coward, or respect for the incompetent. The man who attempts to purchase the brains of his superiors to serve him, with his money replacing his judgment, ends up by becoming the victim of his inferiors. The men of intelligence desert him, but the cheats and the frauds come flocking to him, drawn by a law which he has not discovered: that no man may be smaller than his money. Is this the reason why you call it evil?
“Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth–the man who would make his own fortune no matter where he started. If an heir is equal to his money, it serves him; if not, it destroys him. But you look on and you cry that money corrupted him. Did it? Or did he corrupt his money? Do not envy a worthless heir; his wealth is not yours and you would have done no better with it. Do not think that it should have been distributed among you; loading the world with fifty parasites instead of one, would not bring back the dead virtue which was the fortune. Money is a living power that dies without its root. Money will not serve the mind that cannot match it. Is this the reason why you call it evil?

“Money is your means of survival. The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men’s vices or men’s stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers you scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment’s or a penny’s worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you’ll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?
“Money will always remain an effect and refuse to replace you as the cause. Money is the product of virtue, but it will not give you virtue and it will not redeem your vices. Money will not give you the unearned, neither in matter nor in spirit. Is this the root of your hatred of money?
“Or did you say it’s the love of money that’s the root of all evil? To love a thing is to know and love its nature. To love money is to know and love the fact that money is the creation of the best power within you, and your passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men. It’s the person who would sell his soul for a nickel, who is loudest in proclaiming his hatred of money–and he has good reason to hate it. The lovers of money are willing to work for it. They know they are able to deserve it.

“Let me give you a tip on a clue to men’s characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.
“Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another–their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun.
“But money demands of you the highest virtues, if you wish to make it or to keep it. Men who have no courage, pride or self-esteem, men who have no moral sense of their right to their money and are not willing to defend it as they defend their life, men who apologize for being rich–will not remain rich for long. They are the natural bait for the swarms of looters that stay under rocks for centuries, but come crawling out at the first smell of a man who begs to be forgiven for the guilt of owning wealth. They will hasten to relieve him of the guilt–and of his life, as he deserves.
“Then you will see the rise of the men of the double standard–the men who live by force, yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money–the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue. In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statutes are written to protect you against them. But when a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law–men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims–then money becomes its creators’ avenger. Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men, once they’ve passed a law to disarm them. But their loot becomes the magnet for other looters, who get it from them as they got it. Then the race goes, not to the ablest at production, but to those most ruthless at brutality. When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter.

“Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors–when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that is does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot.
“Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men’s protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked, ‘Account overdrawn.’

“When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, ‘Who is destroying the world? You are.
“You stand in the midst of the greatest achievements of the greatest productive civilization and you wonder why it’s crumbling around you, while you’re damning its life-blood–money. You look upon money as the savages did before you, and you wonder why the jungle is creeping back to the edge of your cities. Throughout men’s history, money was always seized by looters of one brand or another, whose names changed, but whose method remained the same: to seize wealth by force and to keep the producers bound, demeaned, defamed, deprived of honor. That phrase about the evil of money, which you mouth with such righteous recklessness, comes from a time when wealth was produced by the labor of slaves–slaves who repeated the motions once discovered by somebody’s mind and left unimproved for centuries. So long as production was ruled by force, and wealth was obtained by conquest, there was little to conquer, Yet through all the centuries of stagnation and starvation, men exalted the looters, as aristocrats of the sword, as aristocrats of birth, as aristocrats of the bureau, and despised the producers, as slaves, as traders, as shopkeepers–as industrialists.

“To the glory of mankind, there was, for the first and only time in history, a country of money–and I have no higher, more reverent tribute to pay to America, for this means: a country of reason, justice, freedom, production, achievement. For the first time, man’s mind and money were set free, and there were no fortunes-by-conquest, but only fortunes-by-work, and instead of swordsmen and slaves, there appeared the real maker of wealth, the greatest worker, the highest type of human being–the self-made man–the American industrialist.
“If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of Americans, I would choose–because it contains all the others–the fact that they were the people who created the phrase ‘to make money.’ No other language or nation had ever used these words before; men had always thought of wealth as a static quantity–to be seized, begged, inherited, shared, looted or obtained as a favor. Americans were the first to understand that wealth has to be created. The words ‘to make money’ hold the essence of human morality.
“Yet these were the words for which Americans were denounced by the rotted cultures of the looters’ continents. Now the looters’ credo has brought you to regard your proudest achievements as a hallmark of shame, your prosperity as guilt, your greatest men, the industrialists, as blackguards, and your magnificent factories as the product and property of muscular labor, the labor of whip-driven slaves, like the pyramids of Egypt. The rotter who simpers that he sees no difference between the power of the dollar and the power of the whip, ought to learn the difference on his own hide– as, I think, he will.
“Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips and guns–or dollars. Take your choice–there is no other–and your time is running out.

"No family" can mean your family dies or divorce, not that you run off and abandon them. And if your family has no/insufficient income, you may have to make a choice between work or school.

You do not hold people accountable for their actions. Simply needing something is enough of a reason for you to see they should get something. You cannot force the strong to work for the incentives of the weak. The phrase "for the greater good" is euphemism for suicide. You will never have wealth because you lack what it takes to earn wealth. You will not be carried by the strong.
>>
Capitalism doesnt mean the guys at the top care about those at the bottom, it encourages people to add value to society in order to earn their worth. In capitalism, the reason the poor are poor is because they either have no self control to limit their spending or they have nothing of value to contribute to society.

if they lack the knowledge to make the right choices, it might have something to do with a public education.

When schools are in the private sector, you have the best teachers and the best course material, or you lose your students to another school (assuming tuition is the same).

By making schools public, not only do you lose this competition, but there are actually laws stating that if you live in X district, your kids MUST go to Y school, killing any incentive to keep better staff or improve course material. Standardized testing determining funding kills any incentive to improve course material, as you want your course material to match the standardized tests as much as possible.

tl;dr if we didn't needlessly throw education into the private sector, maybe people would have the practical knowledge to not become homeless.

absolute prosperity. not relative prosperity. Capitalism will create a gap between the rich and the poor (those who offer value and those who do not), but regardless of this, the developments of the rich will raise the overall standard of living despite the gap in class.

The ambition to climb to the top stimulates innovation to set yourself above others. If we didnt have this innovation, our general standard of living would be much lower.

no, not necessarily. If the public sector for schooling didn't exist, let's say, then there would actually be affordable private schools that there can't be now, because they can't compete with the low low price of free attached to public schools. You would still have the elite private schools of course (we still have Cadillac cars even though there are cheaper options, because some people will always want the best) but there would exist schools with affordable prices, that would have REAL incentive to improve their staff and course material, or else lose students to another school with a similar price, but better teaching methods.

Capitalism is bad. There must be a balance between socialism and capitalism to be able to get the fairest system for most workers.
>>
>>715356216
Arguments against capitalism are all arguments against people who want stuff and are willing to work for it. This is literally against human nature - the desire to do and have more. "You're not allowed to have something other people don't." Socialist thinking in a nutshell.
>>
>>715362685
But HOW do they get richer? They have to lower their prices or you go to another store that beats them. They HAVE to hire more people because that's where they get their production that keeps their prices down. They HAVE to make their products well, or make their services worthwhile, or again, you the customer will find a BETTER deal somewhere else.

You are grossly oversimplifying what capitalism is. You are correct in saying that greed is what drives it, but you don't seem to understand that the best way to make money IS to put your customers first. If you don't do this, another company that does, will take all your customers. Businesses don't just magically make money out of nowhere. They have to FIGHT for a market.

Yes except that there is nothing wrong with trying to offer the best products or services at the lowest price other than the fact that you are doing it for personal gain.

Now, as far as socialism and taxes go, why don't you explain why taking more money from me than citizen X to fund a program that directly benefits citizen X but doesn't me, is morally right?

Example A: you have 50,000 dollars but could live off 40,000. I see another person that is in a tough spot that the can't get out of but can get out of it with 10,000. Assuming that this money is cash (since the notion of banks would probably offend you) let's say that I take 10,000 from you by force, and give to this less fortunate man. What makes this any different than theft?

Now, you're probably going to pull the democracy card. So, on to example B, which expands on A.

Let's say again that you have 50,000 that you earned. Citizen X is again in need of 10,000 according to me and the majority of our community. Again, I take it by force, and give 10,000 to citizen X. Is this any more justified than example A? If it is, how so?

No, if the economy grows enough, there will be such a demand for labor that workers can afford to quit a company to join another one. Companies would have to fight for their labor, which they currently dont have to, because there arent enough jobs for you to run to. They know they have you fucked, and they're right. What would create more jobs? Less regulations on business so that expanding isn't so goddamn hard and risky. They can save enough capital to expand their company (and therefore the number of jobs) and this goes for their competition too. Funny how capitalism is more toxic the more it is regulated (other than by competition and market demand)

False, because some products/industries are very good at creating monopolies. If you own all the coal mine in town, no one is going to be able to compete, because they're going to have to import coal from elsewhere, and that incurs transportation costs which prevents you from being able to offer the same low price.

Actually, capitalism was one of the reason for the fall of feudalism. Smartest of common men invested into factories and banks and become more wealthy then degenerated feudals not knowing a shit about trade or investing. At the end of feudalism these elites were richer and therefore stronger then feudals and literally forced rulers to abolish the serfdom because they wanted free movement of workforce. It wasnt humanity what brought freedom. It was capitalism.

Exactly. They only stay a monopoly as long as they offer the lowest price, which is good for the consumer. C'mon man it's like you're arguing for us. What is the advantage of having a monopoly in your eyes? Because clearly, you can't raise your prices. The instant you do, competition will crop up.

The reason why capitalism is viable as an economic model is because social interests and economic interests (for the most part) coincide.

Principles of supply and demand dictate that for every commodity it will be profitable for the company to efficiently allocate output to match society's demand (outside of monopolies).

Only issues are in oligopolies and monopolies. When there is competition the society and market stay healthy.

The nasty people can do everything solo. If they want business to grow then they have to 1) be decent to customers to maintain sales, and 2) be decent to employees to maintain a workforce to take care of day-to-day business. Freemarket capitalism means that if an asshole can learn to play nice he'll lose it all since people are free to buy/work elsewhere. If his business is regulated/required by the government the he has no incentive to be nice since his business is no regulated to grow and/or guaranteed not to fail.

Freemarket capitalism means no fucking bailouts. If a business a large as GM or Chrysler could go under then they deserve it for fucking up so bad, and it's likely that out of the failure, other would rise up with new business to fill the void

The only reason we have laws protecting other people is because we want ourselves protected.
Morals don't exist, especially in higher circles

Pedophilia is common in higher circles. People that are rich have no morals and see their workers as mere numbers

Capitalism will always strive to go back to slavery, apple still produces its products with company's that use child labor just like Samsung and major other company's.

Ethics are for the poor people, the rich wipe their asses with it.

The only reason why we get a decent pay is because the workers in the western countries revolted in the past, they didn't receive the benefits they have today because of ethics, morals and humanity, but trough threatening to murder the rich.

It's not like companies can set any price at will though. The one who owns the mines in town can actually afford to offer a low price without taking a loss, the ones what have to import coal from elsewhere can't do that. So the one in town has no incentive to lower prices below a certain point.

So capitalism always wants to go back to slavery. Based on what evidence, exactly?

Slavery has always been an efficient way to produce, regardless of ideology.

I'm not even going to address your relativist stupidity on morals, instead I'm going to simply restate what I said before. If the company didn't pay the worker, why would they choose to work there?

>>715368020

Look at 19th century Britain. Low pay, meant massive workers, no regulations meant firing people on the go. People got payed just enough so that they could eat. While the rich bought the products.


>morals
People don't care for other people.
Don't believe me?
Go fake an injury on the street, not a single person will help you, on the contrary, they will steal from you.

>Based on what evidence, exactly?
Logical taught. Look at Belgium
Wages are getting lowered each year. The government allows it, because otherwise they would leave. The companies wanted the removal of laws that made it hard for people to get fired and laws that said that workers needed to know their working hours a day before hand. Now you can get called any time of the day, work 18 hours while only getting payed for 7.4, and its legal. I know of 3 companies that already do this, and its rising. Why? because there are no jobs, so the companies can do what they want.

Except that most money nowadays is n made that way.

It is produced by fiat, by banks, by trading in bits of paper the that have no relation to real goods, real labour, real resources.

For example, Apple mad expensive more money in 2012 from investment than from sales of goods dislike. They have so much cash that they could le buy the entire entire GDP of then United Kingdom. For three years.

Everything. All the food, all the electricity used the water drunk, the clothes bought the entire houses built the cable tv programs rented, everything

All the work done.

From money made by shuffling paper.

So wealth now makes wealth, with no relationship to work, or any sense of earnings. No one "earns" a million dollars a year. No one works that hard, or has that much much expertise.

Capitalism has become a means of generating fake money, which can bee used to buy a value s stuff.

This is nothing a good system. It means that people who work get little, do those who have a wealth are given disproportionately more

Want me to explain it to you? Simple, govenment dont do shit, and stuff is built by work, thats the truth. Gather the best politicians - i have no idea of what that is supposed to mean to you - in history, none of them have the honor to lick Descartes and Tesla balls; none of them did shit, while geniouses who pursuited their will, did. Thats it, dont work, dont do shit, be a neet, the best spot for you shall be then in misery on your own shit. Shit dont get outta nowhere, government dot create things, it needs to be built, the world have causes, reasons and logic, denying them is denying existence and life

I don't know the answer to this, buddy. Either they find it more important to develop their own apple-flavored versions of microsoft programs and apps, or there is some law preventing from apple too closely mirroring Windows OS architecture in a way that allows compatibility with microsoft programs. The former is a failure on apple's part, and the the latter is a failure in IP/patent law. Note that in either case, it's not capitalism's fault.

But the inherited wealthy also have nothing of value for society- how about outlawing inherited wealth.

Make huge death taxes. Let each person prove their value

>It's not like companies can set any price at will though
I mean, yeah, they can. This is what determines your margin. They can't raise their price past what market demand dictates, or nobody will buy their product even if there is no competition, unless their product is seen as a necessity.

Yes I agree that having no incentive to lower them past a certain point is a bad thing for the consumers. But note that he can't hike prices up just because he is the only act in town. Other people that argue against capitalism seem to think monopolies and oligopolies have absolute power to do whatever they want. You seem to be somebody that understands this isn't true, thank god.

Because it's made under the assumption that all business owners are evil, which is an incredibly infantile view of our society.

Wal-Mart is such an evil company, that's why they donate millions of dollars to various charities. Retard.
>>
>>715369022
>Why? because there are no jobs, so the companies can do what they want.

The real question is why are there no jobs? Does Belgium have a free enough market economy that business owners can afford to expand and create new jobs?
>>
>>715356216
This is a fake quote OP
>>
>>715370441

Tax write offs, they literally donate nothing. You can't be that fucking stupid.
>>
>>715370860
Are you implying that I can donate money, and get more back than I put in?

WOW HOW HAVEN'T I HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. TIME TO GET RICH QUICK, THE GOVERNMENT GIVES ME TAX DOLLARS FOR SENDING MONEY TO CHARITIES.

Where did the Murkins originally get their gallons from? That's right, they took the gallon with them when the religious/economic oddballs they quit Great Britain.
>>
>>715370076
inherited wealthy actually can contribute to society and economic growth by investing their wealth in various businesses as capital.

Literally every inherited wealthy person does this if they use a bank (unless it's one that gets bailed out, which again, is no fault of capitalism)
>>
>>715370860
You do not do your taxes, right? Or else you are roayally fucked.
>>
>>715371041

Huh, I guess you are. No idea how any of that shit works, do ya?
>>
>>715371566
Look bro, you're the one claiming that donating tremendous amounts of can somehow turn a profit on their end. Please explain to me how they can turn around 1 billion dollars of charitable donations into a net profit, because if it's anything short of witchcraft, I will be disappointed.
>>
>>715371794

Fine kiddies. Donating certain amounts qualifies you for specific tax breaks, that billion dollars you donate might end up saving you 3. That's the only reason any of them do it.
>>
>>715372126
Do you honestly believe the shit you're saying right now?

Yes donations and charities can get you tax breaks and incentives, but to suggest that you can turn a net profit from donating is a colossally retarded assertion.
>>
>>715372274

I work in accounting. Companies have entire departments dedicated to this very purpose. If I made $20, I'd get taxed $10. If I donate $2, I'd only get taxed $3, saved $5. Call it profit. Is that really so hard to believe?
>>
>>715370540
Sorry for late response.
If you as an employee receive 10€ and hour
Your company needs to pay 30€ an hour
And a whole lot of other retarded taxes that only increased thanks to the refugee crisis.
So socialism is to blame.
But i find all monetary systems flawed by design. Communism is like the only one that can work if a computer is the ruler. But that would create a whole lot of other problems.
Too bad there is no perfect system, as of now capitalism with a hint of socialism is good as long there aren't any fucking parasites

>>715372804
You're going to need to backup those numbers with some actual IRS stats, because I seriously doubt that's how it works.
>>
>>715373021

It's a lot more complicated than that, but I assure you that's the gist of it. It saves them a great deal of money.
>>
>>715372835
do away with the retarded taxes and the system is fixed. Capitalism only failed here because it was over regulated.
>>
>>715373287
you mean overtaxed, best thing the people are about to lose their pension, the government can't pay for it anymore. Water is the more expensive in my country, so is electricity. Yet we pay the most taxes.

We have 6 times as many politicians that each get 100k a year as the usa.
Take a guess where the money is going to

"the gambling man is rich and the working man"

Money is and resource is finite, not everyone can be rich in a capitalist system only the few can be. That means someone has to be poor and fucked over, those people are the workers.
>>
>>715373567
NONE of these are a problem with capitalism though. it is a problem with the regulations. They are problems with overtaxing, crony capitalism, and corruption.

>>715360449
Sounds like flowery libertarian half-truths to me. Glorifying the gold standard and have little to no regard for those who are disavantaged by culture, creed, or genetics.

There's plenty of truth in there as well, but let not your heart be hardened, pretending it is objective truth throughout.

>>715356216
You don't expect them to work for the benefit of all.
You hope that you get to be one of the nasty men.

Your post is based on a logical fallacy. Good day to you sir.

>>715375425
Libertarians believe in curing social ills, they just disagree that the way to do it is by having a tyrannical government restricting our liberties in order to TRY (keyword because thus far they have failed) to help the poor, ensure justice and liberty for all, etc.

Go read a fucking book you democuck.
