Never. Inconceivable. Not one book.

economy by definition is based on profit. The difference is where profit is directed towards and to what extent.

Do you even know what profit is

I have $50k where should I invest it?

>>14949918
My Paypal. Good fortune will come to you if you do this.

>>14948885

The first and third claims are plainly false, which leaves only the second. So, flip the burgers for free, or to break even, since that would be ethical, then.

Perhaps you are thinking of Matt 16:26: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? But even this is a rational cost/benefit utility analysis, under Christian logic. Value is what you get, and it's better to keep your soul than have a pile of money and power. The point being that even the Bible acknowledges "real" profit (in terms of value) as necessity, and your rhetorical claim is stupid.

This is a really good point that doesn't get pushed nearly as often as it should. Leftists have no claim to ethics.

>>14948885

Do you fucking see what Congress is doing AGAIN?
They’re using this crisis to to pit even more people onto the streets. You’re a moron or you’re a moron that relishes the idea of fascism being welcomed in to pretend save us.
News flash. This fascism will be hunky-dory with Jewish bankers.

the global economy is predicated on the fact that greedy people will always exploit others to achieve their own ends. profit-seekers dominate altruists simply by acting as they feel is right, regardless of the human cost. there's not much we can do about this.

I think it should be a growing concern that there are burgeoning portions of the population which do nothing for a profit.

>>14948885
>profit as a basis for an economy is inefficient, unethical and absurd?

Based, time for fascist economics. Massacre the political left.

>>14948885
No. Sorry.

>>14953281
based.
Traditional godly living is the most revolutionary act imaginable.

>Quick lets do authoritarian state capitalism and tell them its not capitalism anymore.
Are you a stupid fuck?

>Mussolini tried to combat economic recession by introducing a "Gold for the Fatherland" initiative, encouraging the public to voluntarily donate gold jewelry to government officials in exchange for steel wristbands bearing the words "Gold for the Fatherland".
Good goy, just give all your gold to the scary pose government man.

It's all 'Capitalism', sweetheart. It's the only game in town for massive societies. Commodity production and exchange via price signalling markets is the only way for this terrible, rickety machine to function. You can reorganize how the shot-callers line up, but you can't change the game. Unless you entertain the possibility of the unthinkable.

>>14948885
I don't know about that, but what I do know is that the American economy is currently a prime example of why the non-productive financial classes are a boil that need to be fucking lanced.

ahem *ting ting* FUCK BANKERS AND FUCK LANDIES

>>14954273
You don't know what capitalism is.

>>14954273
Socialists/Communists can't seem to explain what their alternative system would look like besides a State controlled socialism with some sort of rationing system, which sounds like hell.

They'll talk a lot about employers just owning everything and "getting what they deserve" but the details are cloudy, and they'll just stick to attacking Capitalism as if we don't already know it's flawed in some respects.

I wish they'd just implement communism on small scales somewhere, in a shithole country or shithole town and then make it prosperous and "equitable" so they could just point to it and others could mimic it. But the only thing we can point to is failed experiments that were propped up by genocide, forced labor and gulags and famines.

Does Dore actually promote Cockshott? Lost all respect for him if so

Is there a book that explains why capitalism dunks on communism 10 outta 10 times?

>>14954376
How about "$4 Trillion to Bail Out A Bunch of Morons" by The Federal Reserve, I really like that one

>>14954273
>Capitalism = free markets
the catch-cry of a moron

>>14948885
Kind of.

Kick the Ladder from what I what I've read.
Its pretty dry and doesn't talk about what is advertised as though.
Animal Farm sorta.

>>14954367
Why?

>>14954442
Because Cockshott is an old tenured fraud and not even a funny one.

>>14954367
Understandable sentiment, but what I don't get is why you would have any respect for this Dore in the first place.
