Comment on Why are so many leaders in tech evil?
DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 4 months agoSorry if it is unclear, I am saying CGB Gray explains how corruption happens in leadership structures.
The opinion that this is why capitalism can work better than communism is entirely my own logical conclusion. I am not trying to claim CGP Gray said so.
Again sorry for the confusion.

No worries! I’m just trying to clarify.
I also think you’re referencing an older ideation of capitalism. I think what you’re talking about is just commerce.
Check out that NPR article I posted earlier. People are changing the meaning of capitalism and it’s helping them justify not taxing billionaires.

Yeah, the terminology around this kinda sucks. I always have an issue with whether I should call it capitalism or not when I mean a heavily regulated version of it, including some social policies.
I just don’t know a better word for it and it is difficult to concisely express what I mean without saying capitalism and hoping people figure out what I mean from context.

I just use commerce or trade now. I found a good little blurb about it on medium.

Also, this book had some good points that spoke to me.

I immediately dislike calling it commerce for 3 reasons:
I think I will try saying “regulated capitalism” from now on and see if it is better.
