The folks at listverse.com produced this interesting perspective on the “top 10 disadvantages to capitalism.” While they and we at Columbia news, views & reviews are not suggesting that the system in inherently evil, this is just another viewpoint.
“There has been much discussion of the current economic system in the western world, capitalism. This is mainly because of the growing anti-capitalist movement. However, as the owners of the free media are the wealthy, the anti-capitalist side of the debate has not been fairly covered. This list is not to suggest a viable alternative, although there are many. It is merely to cover the disadvantages of the current system, which have often been ignored by the media and governments.”
Here’s the list of the top 10 disadvantages:
10. Inequality
9. Waste
8. Starvation
7. Anti-social
6. Danger
5. Undemocratic
4. Pollution
3. War
2. Dictatorship
1. Propaganda
