You “Own” businesses? How can that not be capitalism?

Do your businesses give everything away for nothing?

They could do that, if the survival of all its employees was assured by a source of free money independent of the business.

Then the business becomes more a hobby of the employees, continuing Just because they believe in it, that they are adding value to the world.

But you never talk much about free money, and how it might come about independently of government, from the ultimate infinite source, the sun.

Capitalism, is valuing all things already created as capital, with the result that the thing of real value, the value of ongoing creation, is ignored, it seems to me.

Capitalism, is valuing Possession.

Capitalism is an Illusion of wealth.

“Look what I’ve got, more than what you’ve got”.

So by ignoring the thing creating everything, we think we have everything, when actually we have nothing.

Would you ever write about that, Umair?
