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 this is such a better idea were in source of income will be depends on our hands the community rather than to the governments, I am not saying that we will rule the world but most of the profit must occur on our hands in which we gather the fair amount of money that must be ours. Nowadays Government is the one who controls everything and we cannot deny the fact that corruption is present in which the desirable things that must be developed doesnt exist because the money was not fairly given, I guess Bitcoin is the start for that.

I agree to this video simply because capitalism gives everybody’s a chance to succeed. Compare to the economic policy of socialism and communism I would say capitalism stand-out in fighting the poverty. Critics of capitalism are those people whose primary concern is receiving the food free while doing nothing. They are simply called leech of the society.

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.

As I said capitalism has its bad side and what you are describing is one of those bad things that comes from capitalism, however compared to the great benefits that we get out of it, I prefer 100 times to live in a capitalist country than to live in a communist one, because at least in a capitalist country you have the chance to progress while in a communist one that is impossible

[Sadlife]

There's no problem with capitalism cause people are starting to build their own business that will surely benefit a country's economy. What i hate is bankers, banking cartels that exploits it's citizens with bizarre interest rate, hidden fees and government taxes that is so high, you can't even buy good food for your family.

[Mancung]

Agree with that, we all know that a well educated society could decrease the number of poverty in a country and we might think that capitalism just do as well

I am for capitalism. For me this is good since each of the city will have their own budgeting and allocation for their own. The more their place needs, the more they will strive to keep up for those needs. The more the people strive to work since they know they can benefit to their effort.

Yes capitalism is good enough to decreasing the poverty but there are some bad and good effect of this , The Bad effect is for the poor person that did not know to understand how to manage a capital . The good effect is in the wealthy or rich person because all the capital that we have is under control of the rich. The one thing that we need is to understand what is important of money to us , save money after this make some research in your place and find what is the best business that you think need in your place . Then start manage all of you capital to be a successful capitalist.

other says being positive is easy to achieve, but in reality there are people that did everything just to achieve the what so called happiness in life. There are things which we can do to have a positive mind. First, be with someone who can make you laugh at all times, just remember the saying laughter is the best medicine, just laugh as you can to relieve stress. Second, you can start reading books that will uplift your mood such as joke books, inspirational books and etc., Third, you can do some adventures, that will let you appreciate nature, a peaceful mind in a peaceful scenery will make your mood positive. Fourth, don't be surrounded with people that will always make your mood negative. If you have problems in life, it is not good to solve it with your own, seek for help. It is really an important matter to make yourself positive and do not lead it to depression.

I wonder what kind of a person would love to be in poverty, but not me, I can’t choose poverty over being rich, nah! It’s only stupid people will do that. Everyday of my life I’m always working hard towards living a better life in future, I even stay up most nights so I can be able to achieve my dreams. It’s not easy but I will continue to fight till I get what I need. As for poverty, that will never be my portion. I prefer Capitalism over that.

[Nboramir]

Capitalism maybe reduces the amounts of poverty but it also decreases the amount of self dependent people with constant income. Today maybe we dont have poverty but we have debts to pay to banks, we work a whole lifetime to buy a house and at least 5-10 years to buy a nice car. Capitalism just makes us blind with the look on our outside with all these clothes on us and food we have and makes us forget the credit card debts we have ro pay.

[tinyblue]

The capitalism we have is not true, true capitalism, where the strongest survive. Else the poor, the less educated, people with mental deficiencies here in the United States would be living a living hell.

[NevejElad]

That is the right choice that you love capitalism, so you hate poverty, I think no one ever love this kind of situations of being poor or poverty, we love capitalism for the purpose that some of the  poor and jobless people can work for the owner of this company and business , because if you pour your capital in that certain place you will the required workers for your industry, so it will help eliminate poverty, through this capitalism.

[ChaChaiTL]

In any era or regime, there are two parallel sides and two opposing sides such as the rich and the poor as well as the good and the bad not just capitalism but socialism. in the rich of the poor so you can love all over

[Uno17]

Everyone hates poverty including myself, but i am not in favor of capitalism though i hate to see poverty around nor i don’t like communism government also because i don’t see it fair to the community. There is no such thing as good as democratic one,freedom is important!  just strive hard for a good living so that you won’t starve in life.

I support cryptocurrency not capitalism cause here in our country we are democratic presidential nominee. We are unite to become one and I support that.  We support cryptocurrencies cause it is the only way for us to survive everyday

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.

This is most likely happens in the 3rd World countries because they do not believe that capitalism will find a solution to combat this never-ending poverty. Money does not work for them rather they work to earn money. They think that money is the only one solution to escape this global problem. They did not realize that their idea and creativeness is the most needed skills to surpass poverty. After they get the paycheck, they all buy the things they wanted to reward themselves for a short period of time.

Sure there are positive aspects on capitalism!
Anyway there is few doubts that free market is the most effective way to promote short-term innovation and short-term efficiency.

Problem of capitalism is that the money creates money... Which means that in the long term rich people become even wealthier and poor people become poorer. That's exactly what's currently happening in all western society. Poverty is decreasing not thanks to capitalism but thanks to industrialization (which is a direct consequence of capitalism of course). Once the industrialization process is indeed the capitalism effect will be to increase inequality between rich and poors. And the worst part is that as rich people become wealthier they also acquire more and more power, making them actual dictators.

Capitalism and communism have different ways but the same consequence -> Dictatorship of few people and families who have no interest in changing anything.

There is much reason we should love capitalism, and hate poverty, I think no one above this world would surely love poverty , because poverty is a much carry load by every individual who have the status of being poverty, If there is capitalism then there will be business and it require surely workers , so people have a chance to work and earn salary , so it can minimize the jobless people who really suffering poverty and capitalism can help a lot to minimize this poverty suffered by some people around the world.

The problem is that poverty is necessary for the development of capitalism. It is part of this project. Capitalism must constantly increase production and stimulate consumption. Previously, they used poor people who were willing to work hard to exist and poverty was an artificial phenomenon. Now there are robots that will do the work for the people and the poor will become more due to the loss of jobs.
