    I don’t get why even capitalists are ok with the economy being so focused on investor hype. Whatever happened to companies making profit by providing valuable goods and services? We don’t even factor the consumer in anymore, it’s all just executives trying to woo investors no matter what it does to the product or service quality being offered.

    I’m a socialist, but you’d think there’d be some capitalism advocates that are anti stock market at this point.

      You say that like there is some secret organisation of capitalists that dictate what capitalism is.

      Capitalism is a free market and everyone in the free market does whatever they want to do.

        A system doesn’t need people to get together and collude in order to manifest certain behaviors. The market is regulated either by legislation or by people’s actions. I’m wondering why pro-capitalists have no intention to regulate this or change their behaviors.
