Il capitalismo ha superato i sistemi basati sulla rendita e i privilegi e ha creato la libertà di iniziativa e di lavoro, la concorrenza, la prevalenza del merito sui rapporti corporativi o clientelari, la crescita stabile della ricchezza. Ciò ha permesso lo sviluppo dei ceti medi, della cultura critica, dei diritti civili, della democrazia. Tuttavia il profitto ha sempre tentato di opprimere i più deboli e di rapinare i paesi arretrati. Queste due opposte tendenze non possono convivere indefinitamente. Oggi l'allargamento del benessere a tutti si scontra col neoliberismo, basato sulla crescita delle disuguaglianze, l'aumento delle rendite, l'iper-sfruttamento del lavoro.CapitalismCapitalism.330.122Perrotta Cosimo465580NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910473940403321Capitalismo è ancora progressivo1865817UNINA
