More fuel for the discussion on capitalism fire.

The main point alleged here is: "world poverty has fallen by 80% since 1970".

They claim capitalism is the main driving force behind reduced levels of poverty over the past 5 or so decades, which in turn implies capitalism creates elevated living standards.

I think capitalism, true capitalism is the reason for the increase in living standards over the last 200 years but I would say that its important to make sure true capitalism is still being promoted today. I do think its the best system we have at the moment but I also think it can be improved. Its important to note that capitalism is an economic system where private owners control a countries trade and industry.

But what happens when these private owners get too much power? I think the advent of the internet throws in some curveballs because globalisation is now becoming very real. At what point does it become too centralised? I do think we are starting a shift into something other than capitalism. The name of it im not sure and what are the guarantees this trend of peoples living standards raising will continue, again im not sure this is guaranteed either.

I agree. If we really want to get rid poverty or being poor, then you must be brave enough to take the risks. You should be willing to release something that you have to gain something as well. We should be smart enough to do someting if we would want to gain good profit as well.

I do not see how capitalism makes poverty go away. I believe it is capitalism that has brought this so much poverty to the world with the few privileged ones becoming rich and rich and super rich and then inflicting pains on the less privileged masses by amassing wealth. I think it is even communism that ends poverty, not capitalism.

I dont like poverty, but I`m thankful, that I`ve been born in not the poorest country in a third world, so I have an opportunity to be here at least.

Whatever it is, capitalism is the best system available now. Other systems are somehow connected with capitalism in some way, or they have features of capitalism. Even if it seems logical, a system like socialism will unfortunately not provide equality within the country. An individual who earns money for a labor and an individual who earns income without doing any work should not be held. I do not say anything for the poor nationals who are born as unfortunate, but poor people who are born in a really good country and whose health is in good condition are unfortunately poor due to their own stupidity. The working iron always shines.

If capitalism reduced poverty, then it had created another bad things. The wealthy people are in charge of everything. As a matter fact, the working class are striving to get in better position. However, the wealthy would only allow their relatives or someone who is beneficial for them. It is all calculated. I am not against capitalism, for even communism has many disadvantages. We should just adapt with every change, otherwise we will be doomed.

You cannot blame the faults of particular implementations of capitalism on the system itself. These corrupt implementations of capitalism are called crony capitalism. It is the one system which hasn't proved to be a total failure. That is one reason to stick to it.

While capitalism has its bad side at the same time it is undeniable that is the only system that has been proven to work, people simply do not understand that we need an incentive to work hard, the reason poverty has fallen so much has to do with the new inventions created by people that wanted to get a benefit for themselves and by doing so not only they benefited themselves but they benefited others.

In this world no one would ever love poverty , a lot of people are suffering poverty all over the world, so ifcthere is capitalism then we should love it becausr this might help us  or solve lightly the poverty problem experienced worldwide, if there is cspital then there will business ,so people can work in this business and have earnings or income out of this business if you work for it, it would lower the poverty rate , because of this capitalism.

If I will be having an option between a first world country and a third world country, I will be picking a third world country since you can start a great life there. It is great since there will be no problem in terms of living a great life with the cheap things you can have in there but in terms of services, I think you don't need to expect that much.

[Ryanpogi]

If you are A poor, not everyone wants capitalism because poverty starts with government leadership. so do not be angry with your heart ..

[1C6fV5DtakfKANLJ8GUV7hCaA]

I agree. We all need the feeling of merit and being rewarded for hard work. That is basically capitalism. The money produced by this is just a side effect. I can really say that the poor stay poor because they are lazy and lack the urge to learn something new.

it's just a form of motivation to make you more eager to work and earn money in poor conditions, it's good to see some news about it.

For a competitive society we need capitalism, if not the government controlled companies wont be doing the best service and if you allow private investments then there will be a healthy competition and that will help the end users and that is what we want.

I absolutely do agree with this greatly. People who say they hate poverty but oppose with the idea of capitalism is really not making any sense to me. I think that capitalism can really help stop poverty which is why everyone should push on to it rather than just be selfish and believe what they think is right for them.

Actually im not hate  poverty,because im one of it,and poverty is not a sin because its created  from the society that lack of peace and harmony,its is a creation of the kind of government that full of shelfishness they only  protect there self interest and personel needs in order  to become greedy of there own necessity,thats why for me being a capitalize country is the key or solution towards to become and industrialize nation,and the mainstream of all kind of investement especially cryptocurrency towards a better world.

You are confusing crony capitalism with free-market capitalism. The governments is the root of all these problems. All this nepotism and lobbyism is only possible because governments have levers to regulate the economy. If we get rid of these levers big sharks won't have that weapon.

over the past decades we experienced poverty around the world and that is because the lack of capitalism. thats why capitalism is our driving force to continue earning so that we can go out with that poverty.

[spongegar]

Well, it is actually true. Capitalism is a sort of like a merit system. Whereby you keep what you earn. If you're lazy snd doesn't want to work then you will not be rewarded. But in capitalism, if you work hard and earn alot then you can keep that and earn alot more. It's just that capitalism now is villified because of corporate greed.

[Fluffinfinity]

Yes we do really have to embrace capitalism alsp for the benefit of all. If we do not embrace it then, we are no longer gain a big possibility in empowering our country's economy.

[pallang]

If capitalism is the key in solving poverty in a country why not embrace it but i think it's not like that people who are poor should find some ways to earn for their living don't just wait for the help from the government they must strive to become successful in life.
