Hi all,

I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

    I think if, culturally, we have a value shift (it’s already happening imo) then we can properly commodify important aspects nature. e.g., how much value is there in reducing in our CO2 output? How much value is there in preserving these species? Right now, we don’t place enough value on it, and that’s why I think regulations are incredibly important in a capitalist system. We certainly need more of it, but we also need it globally so companies can’t just jump ship to other places where those values aren’t in place.
