- A century and a half later, all the evidence shows that capitalism has lifted millions and millions from hunger and poverty.
One of the leading liberal thinkers of our age, Johan Norberg, shows us how. Discover more in his book The Capitalist Manifesto: www.amazon.co.uk/Capitalist-M... - Розваги
"Available for a price" - very solid marketing, I legitimately love that
Well you started out by asking if capitalism makes for an unequal society… Then just said we all have phones
so as long as we live better than out ancestors we should not seek to increase living standards?
No, it means the idea of inequality is something that is overrated. At the same time, you are not entitled to make as much money as the next guy any more than an NFL player is entitled to break Jerry Rice's records. You're entitled to an equal playing field but not results.
After all, those poor Americans are not giving their dishwashers or televisions to poverty-stricken families in Africa who can't even afford what the average poor person can afford in the USA.

I am aware of that since I live in South Africa but fools like you want to get rid of the same system that made your countries rich in the first place. I also want my country to prosper and you critisize the very means to get there.
Again, my country is very social democratic, high taxes, one of the riches in the world, very high taxes on the rich and corporations, and still because of that everyone can get an education that makes the country prosper, our corporations are important but for the market to be truly free no one can be "forced" into working. A starving worker in a brick making factory isnot making the decision to work with much freedom. what we need is a system that encourages work and can give everyone the opportunity to success, something like the nordic countries. btw im not supporting communism@@mathematicalgeek8657
What a absolute Garbage
This video completely conflates the idea of "equality" with the idea of better living standards. This entire video is nonsensical because there is no argument presented at all that capitalism makes the world more equal, just that it has increased standard of living and reduced poverty, a point which I would definitely not attribute to capitalism and moreso the astonishing progress of technology after the scientific and industrial revolutions.
The most funny thing is _Das Kommunistische Manifest_ was a Political Party Pampleth,to make it eazy,for worker at the time,to understand,what are the goals of the Communist League.
This guy on other hand goes full Retard,and starts rambling the same spiel,like other Capitalist Apologist.
