🪔 Essence of Capitalism
Capitalism is the myth of individual gain aligned with collective growth. Its altar is the market. Its gospel is choice. It thrives on motion—money must move, innovate, reproduce. At its purest, it births invention. At its excess, it devours meaning. It is not moral or immoral—it is alive.
