The Entire Human Species Has Been Turned Into A Profit-Generating Machine
About this episode
The episode discusses how capitalism reduces humanity to mere tools for corporate profit.
Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders. Reading by Tim Foley.
