The way I see it, capitalism softly implements a darwinian system of natural selection in the market. As long as you can keep government corruption out of the picture, I think it's practically the most perfect economic system conceivable
how else am I supposed to read this?They certainly do not. Pre-civilization they certainly did not. Pre-civilization everyone needed to work, and to work quite hard, for what they got. If they did not work for it, they starved. If they made bad decisions that put their resource supplies at stake, they likely perished. And if they worked hard and made smart decisions, they thrived. (And the beauty of natural selection lies therein.) Why should it necessarily be any different now?
because of that nasty government corruption of the marked(like Unemployment benefits)WRT54G said:There's obviously good evidence that those exact circumstances will always play out the way you describe when you open a free market. I mean, look at America. We're all starving and povertous. Oh wait.DeHerg said:you do know that evolution acts on Populations, not Individuals? But Ok lets have a look how an careless(of the Individual suffering(starving)) free Marked would influence a Population Sizeeople starve because the cant compete with the rest of the Market(get selected)->the demand Side for Goods shrink->the supply Side has to shrink aswell to equate->more People starve(because they are now in the same Position as the People before)->circle
how in hell would such a Population survive competition from others when its even kills itself of slowly by inner competition?
