capitalism cause alienation

Marx had a theory that the way that capitalism work causes alienation, the feeling of being uses or no control.  Marx believe the work force experiences alienation because work work all day building something that they can't take home or isn't even their.  The produce they spent all day making they don't receive any benefit from and belongs to the boss that will most likely near see it. This process leave the employ unattached to his work feeling empty and unmotivated.  As for if someone made something on their free time they would feel more emotionally attached and more fulfilled

I find this articular moderately reliable because i just found it on the internet but it does have an author.

Karl Marx Theories of Value

Karl Marx believed in the Labor Theory of Value; human labor creates value.  This theory was not made up by Marx but made up by capitalist of the early nineteen century.  Marx formed a different understanding of this theory which most economist disregard today. He believed that the workers make the value while they are at work and that owner pay the workers less then the value they produced.  So the capitalist or owners are netting the value that is made but isn't payed to the workers, giving them a reason to hire the workers.  Marx calls this exploitation, because the workers are producing more value then they are payed.

I found this podcast to quite bias towards Marxism but I found it to be filled with a bunch of useful information on my opposing view.  Although I can't say it is the best source because it's a YouTube video by an unknown person, but the information is consistent with the rest of my research.

Why doesn't capitalism exploit worker?

Karl Marx believe capitalism would cause the "labor theory of value" which basically mean the rich would exploit the work force. Although probable sounding it has a few loop holes.  First of all the mutual want to exploit laborers causes competition between employers. The competition the employers make them pay the workers more and more until they finally reach close to the value of their work.  Second capitalism is based on a free market so exchanging of goods and services are all ways voluntary, so exchanges are all way mutually beneficial. Every one always has the ability to say no to a trade, so if some one gave them a deal that they didn't benefit they aren't forced to take it.

I find this video credible because the man that man it is a well educated person with a PhD from the University of San Diego. The video is on YouTube and it is called "Does Capitalism Exploit Workers?"

Capitalism in America

Do to human nature pure capitalism like pure socialism is only a myth that economist can mere dream of.  In american are free market is contained by a framework of laws and regulations.  Americas political system is split on how to direct are economic system; democrats like Obama are pushing for a less extreme capitalist system with things like welfare; as for republicans like Romney are pushing for more extreme capitalism that includes more out sourcing.

A good capitalist system is determined by the infrastructure its built on. Economist today debate if or how america should change their infrastructure.  People like "Allan Meltzer, a conservative professor of political economy at Carnegie Mellon University" believe Americas system should be left alone and is adequate as is. On the other hand their are people like Edward Conard that claim that their was no credit bubble, that this boom then burst was a good thing, and that we need "more income inequality"

I found this articular to be fill with a bunch of god non-bias information.  I believe the Washington post is a creditable source.

Capitalism cause and effects on history

Capitalism is a system that dates back to the early nineteenth century, and has many effects on historical events.  In the early nineteenth century capitalism started out with a negative repatriation, in England.  During that time period with the new free market many textile factories with horrible pay and terrible work condition, often run by women and children.  Although these factories sound terrible previous to the capitalism in New England poverty was so common that most children were seen off to live in poor house were they worked for no pay as house servants, or worked in fields for harsh agricultural labor; as for many children became beggars, thieves,  or prostitutes. Socialism popularity soon sky rocketed with peoples displeasure of these factories and with Karl Marx promise of a new "scientific" utopia.

Capitalism was also exploited in american in the 1870's by John D Rockefeller. Rockefeller exploited the pur competition that existed with extreme price cut driving his competition out business, and then proceeding jack up his prices. To stop this viscous process of forming monopoly's congress passed the Sherman act banning price slashing.

Capitalism negative affect in american

Capitalism is far from perfect and when over emphasized can be negative.  Some people believe capitalism has turned American into a consumerist societies by trying to increase the circulation of capital.

As we become a more consumer bases society;

  • confuse needs with wants
  • spend over are mean 
  • "Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns." - Jimmy Carter
This information is from; http://www.mtholyoke.edu/~waldr20m/classweb/worldpolitics/consumerism.html

This is a quality souse because is an .edu, it was published 22/12/09, so it is a little dated but still relevant 

meaning of capitalism.

Capitalism is a system which goods and service are produced and distributed with out reagulations but by the natual forces of the market.  Like most theories complete capitalism only only exists on paper, but mix forms of it are used all over.  Capitalism is capable in any type of government; the government is main influence is to distinguish property right.  Over all capitalism is a practical system based on a free market.

The source I got my information from I believe is a reliable but biased; It is a .org which is usually a positive sight for the quality of the info, Their is specific no date on the article but the article was mostly general facts that haven't changed.;
