The people who shriek the loudest about the superiority of capitalism are invariably themselves shitty capitalists.I'm honestly convinced that communists, or at least the vaguely economic left wing people that get grouped into the label, are the only people who study capitalism at this point. Adam Smith, dude who codified the whole concept in Wealth of Nations, knew exactly who created the value in a company.
A machine with no labor generates no wealth, regardless how expensive the capital investment.
