Where do you see "unregulated capitalism"? We now have "capitalism" that is heavily regulated by the state. There is a crisis of #statism, #interventionism.

@Spoon

In fact, it is #statism that is killing #capitalism.

This is not socialism, but (economic) #interventionism, #statism. Read #Mises, #Rothbard on this.

Hayek was a good thinker and a freedom fighter. But I prefer #Mises and #Rothbard. They both left us two brilliant economic treatises: "Human Action" and "Man, Economy, and State with Power and the Market."

The free market... producing rigged outcomes since forever.

"Intel said the United States would invest $8.9 billion in its stock, on top of $2.2 billion that the government has paid the company under the CHIPS and Science Act, a federal program signed into law in 2022 that delivered billions in grants to revive U.S. semiconductor manufacturing."

Intel Agrees to Sell U.S. a 10% Stake in Its Business

The deal is among the largest government interventions in a U.S. company since the rescue of the auto industry after the 2008 financial crisis.

Some people make capitalism the scapegoat for the deeds of #statism.

"Trade unions are an essential component of any" statist/etatist #society. #Unions are the best friends of any modern anti-capitalist #government. #capitalism #statism

"Union strikes and restrictions. Unions have become a nuisance with power to cripple the economy, but only as a result of numerous special privileges afforded by the government; especially various immunities accorded unions, particularly the Wagner Act of 1935, still in effect, which compels employers to bargain with unions which gain a majority vote of a “bargaining unit” arbitrarily defined by the government itself."

You (and everyone else) should first understand the causes of #inequality, which you consider evil. Natural inequality is inevitable, because people are different from each other. But artificial inequality is the result of government #intervention in the economy. You should try to understand it. #statism
