RE: Post-Capitalism

in #money7 years ago

I think the "post-capitalist" world will be achieved by socialism, the workplace will be democratized. The decision-making will be carried out much more horizontally by workers instead of the insane concentration of power at the top we have today (the communism of Russia or China was also very vertical). Of course a verticalist system will do little else but push to better the conditions of the top, which is why we nowadays have 8 people owning as much wealth as the bottom 50% of the world. Automation could bring much better conditions, buy modern capitalism will prevent that, I wrote a little post about a while ago. The economist Richard Wolff often talks about how democratizing the workpalce can fix capitalism, you may find him of interest.

I agree very much with your comments. That's a really good response. I'm going to look for your post now.

I was looking to work socialism in but it was taking longer than hoped to write. I was also going to write about luxury communism. I wasn't really 100% satisfied with my post - it came across a little vague and one-sided. I'm just so busy with work but I'm also trying to post every day... I may try and write some over the weekends and post them periodically so that they are better planned. I will look to read some Richard Wolff too.
Thanks for the response and I'm following now.

Haha, hope I'm worthy of your following. I also finding time to write good things is challenging! Good luck with that.

I think this is a good summation of what Richard Wolff often talks about:

That's brilliant. Thanks
