I think this is a logical folly that demonstrates how warped our view of reality has become. Because it seems we would rather change time than simply change our working hours. It‘s a little bit conspicuous that this is never being considered in a discussion that happens all over the world.

Great non-ideological analysis.

This has been going on for a while:

So you‘re saying Coy‘s analysis so precisely defines capitalism it amounts to calling for its abolishment and therefore contradicts the Times‘ official stance?

True

Yeah, that’s true. I just made the point because you said good government, and that, I think, is debatable.

Kinda

I wouldn’t conflate democratic with good government because it gives us certain freedoms. The liberty in contemporary democratic societies is of a certain kind. Foremost it is the liberty of trade, property and production. Other liberties follow through that. The consumer side freedom of choice follows just as the freedom to theoretically take any job. The state may allow you that, but you may still be excluded by the choices of those whose liberty is guaranteed as well. I mean a government that treats everyone the same, isn’t necessarily good, if its citizens have different means to begin with.

also looking at those countries we can see it isn’t a permanent fix though. Capitalists don’t stop fighting and will be successful in the long run

Also, it didn’t work out so well

what exactly do you mean?

Being a decent human being doesn‘t require an incentive. In fact if you try to be a decent human being because you expect it will be beneficial to you, you will probably fail

I have to report it is similar in Europe
