TRS: Does Capitalism Exist?
This may seem like a bizarre topic and yet it may be one of the most revelatory discussions we can have... In light of my recent discussion with Clara Mattei and her book Capital Order.
How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism, we see the pathway to fascism and the veneer of a capitalist state... but alas... laissez-faire capitalism is a joke... its fake news... the governments allow these relationships and in the end, prove that the very notion of laissez-faire is comical... these are choices. Choices that can be unchosen,... are not natural and they are not canonical. They can be altered and changed... but alas... how? Some point to democracy, bless their hearts... democracy is a placebo that ignores the power dynamics that make the operational truth seem like fiction.
