Interest group politics

Capitalism is restrained predation.
You can't enslave but you can exploit by paying the lowest possible.
You can control what others cannot (property), thus creating desperation to exploit.
And for what others need and you control you can charge what the traffic will bear.
"Capitalism is restrained predation".
ReplyDeleteBit of a stretch, Philo, and I write as a former second-hand car dealer which, of course, I only undertook in the interests of the little old ladies whose cars I nicked - ooops, sorry, I mean whose cars I frequently overpaid for!
No stretch, at all. Predators go hungry, too.
