| MTZehvor said: I never said competition couldn't happen; my original point in all of this was that it isn't realistic to say that everyone started off on a level playing field, and thus, anyone could have earned as much money as those 62 people did. Economic competition is certainly viable, and a good starting point for helping underdeveloped countries...well...develop (South Korea is an excellent example of this). All I'm saying is that the world doesn't put people off on a level playing field, and some inevitably start at a disadvantage compared to others. I'm not making a value statement on whether economic competition or capitalism is good or bad, nor am I saying whether I like the rules or not. |
I never said that everyone started on a level playing field, however that doesn't mean that the game of economics ISN'T fair ...
You need to know that the game of economics does not make the distinction between rich and poor. Inequalities are a part of that game as it is mostly blind to our backgrounds ...
We're all NEVER given the same amount of chances when it comes to making money but it doesn't go against the game's rules ...
Whether or not you find that just depends from individuals to individuals ...
