It seemed Weber argued a similar thing about greed which made me think that restraining greed and dominance is probably an overlooked good part of capitalism, but mayyyybe the restraint conception from the 1970s and not the unleashed economic power of zero marginal cost platforms
Oh, how often the obvious is overlooked. One can only dissect theory so much. In all this analysis, what is the true objective being sought here? Economic perfectionism, that attempts to dismiss all of the human frailties that come with it.-
Didn't Voltaire believe in the efficacy of reason, however one wishes to start defining that. I think he believed that social progress could be obtained by reason, and that no authority, political or religious, should be immune to challenge by reason. Is reason another term for logic?-
Does economic freedom facilitate political freedom? If governments own the means of production and set prices, this leads to a potent state, but creates a large bureaucracy which can impact other areas of life. -
Interesting argument; that can be challenged for the next thousand years.
