Comment on Big business and capitalism are becoming less and less popular with Americansparent

Comments

Efficient distribution of resources is the purpose of governments, not capitalism. No one goes into business with the goal of more efficiently distributing resources, but to increase their wealth as much as possible. That's the one and only goal of capitalism - to make capitalists rich.

The capitalism your comment bemoans the death of, like pure free markets and homo economicus, has only ever existed in economics textbooks. In the real world it has always been grifters and parasites all the way down.
