What has capitalism brought us?

Capitalism delivers three things:

Defense of capitalism

Of these three elements, only the first was positive. It is no longer so, because we have reached the planet's limits.
Capitalism's defenders deny the second.
The most dogmatic also deny the third (unreasonable inequalities) by means of the 'trickle-down theory', or a more elaborate version.

In the end, the current defense of capitalism remains based on « communism is worse », or a more diluted and more false version of the sort « it is the least bad of systems ».

Deepen

To better understand the various attempts to moderate capitalism throughout history, refer to the course titled Legal Figures of Economic Democracy, given by Alain Supiot at the Collège de France in 2016

A serious alternative to capitalism is presented in the second part of the book From Capital to Reason.
