I may have commented in an earlier piece of yours that cost benefit analysis, or comparative advantage, only weighs profit and ignores the overall benefit to society and the working class, which is the opposite of what Smith believed. "Smith's Wealth of Nations posited that free-markets would lead to wealth fairly distributed among the citizens based on their contribution. We do not have free markets. We have markets twisted by laws written by lobbyists for large corporations and too-wealthy-individuals. Capitalism has been perverted into a Darwinian game of survival at the top of the food chain at the expense of others. As spiritual beings, humans are not supposed to act like animals. So, no, Alexmaids, your father is not a communist. I am a pure capitalist. Our rigged system of capitalism is actually pathologically narcissistic as one succeeds not based upon their intelligence but upon their capacity to manipulate and take advantage of other people."
