Therein lies the historically unheard of capitalism, that religion is not reform of existence but its destruction. [Walter Benjamin, source (pdf )]The question of whether there are alternatives to capitalism admit, is being widely discussed and negated as wide. Just because historically have no alternative to enforce, but that does not mean that no such could be found. First, one may ask, what criteria is an economic system can prevail. Just one thought: to decide in capitalist systems, people often act as though potentially rich. They engage in a "capitalist dream" that are indeed each and everyone the opportunity to get rich - and leaves out of account that this wealth is paid for with the poverty of others. suggest how the justice theorists - - If one were to be based on the poor, capitalism would have very widespread.
It is also that the solvable problems of capitalism can be solved. One could restrict capitalism through a series of laws, such as curtailing the salaries of managers, etc. Such proposals scheinen dem Prinzip des Kapitalismus zu widersprechen, wonach Preise rational sind: Wenn es jemanden gibt, der für die Leistung dieses Managers so viel zahlen will, dann darf er das m.E.
Probleme gibt es grundsätzlich vier:
- Kapitalistische Ordnungen sind dann fair, wenn sie überschaubare Systeme betreffen. Ein Austausch von Waren und Geldern über Kulturen (und Systeme) hinweg muss zu Paradoxien und Ungerechtigkeiten führen. Und sei es nur, dass der Kapitalgeber Leute ausnutzen kann, ohne von ihnen damit konfrontiert zu weden, ohne überhaupt ein Gesicht zu haben. Wer ist denn letztlich dafür verantwortlich, dass in China Wanderarbeiter eigentliche Sklavenarbeit verrichten müssen? Niemand, course. Or: All of us, because these people are integrated into a system from which we buy our clothes and gadgets.
- Certain things can belong to anyone, because there is no one who could sell them, they are commonplace. This includes the land and resources. It would be useful, rents to pay for land, what part of the community.
- money needs to circulate. There should be no incentive to withdraw money to the flow. This probably could be made economic adjustments, which I do not understand in detail. Basically, the system seems to work always good when different real needs of the market against each other must be weighed. The need to make more money more money, but should not be one - and it is, supported only by people who think that they will also inherit once they are confronted again with a blatant tax progression.
- It may not be free. If something is free, it means that the public pays the costs. The black rider problem exists in too many areas.
