My biggest problem with #capitalism is that it forces everyone to make earning money their primary objective.
Not to provide valuable services for society.
Not to make sure that people don't suffer.
Not to preserve our environment.
All these things are just optional side effects to the main objective of making money, and will be easily discarded if doing the opposite turns out to be more lucrative.
@ainmosni As the owner of two very small businesses with no employees, I worry about the connection between entrepreneurship and capitalism. One of the businesses is a partnership with my daughter, creating works of art and crafts. The other is a sole proprietorship doing academic evaluations for homeschooled students.
But I am also not a fan of capitalism. I found an article today discussing ways to subvert capitalism while running a small business. I like it.
