When Markets Devour Democracy
Every economic system promises something. Capitalism promised prosperity, efficiency, and freedom. For a while, it delivered-smartphones in every pocket, global supply chains, unprecedented technological leaps. Yet beneath this glittering surface lies a troubling paradox: we've created abundance that somehow produces scarcity, wealth that generates poverty, and freedom that feels increasingly like constraint. The question isn't whether capitalism works-it clearly does, for some. The question is whether we can imagine something better, and more importantly, whether we can build it without waiting for revolution or collapse. This isn't about nostalgia for Soviet planning or romantic fantasies of communes. It's about recognizing that capitalism isn't just "the market"-it's a specific power structure where capital owners command both firms and entire economies. Markets existed before capitalism and will exist after it. What defines capitalism is who holds power: those who own capital make decisions that ripple through millions of lives, while workers, communities, and even elected governments scramble to accommodate their preferences. When a factory closes, devastating a town, that's not a market decision-it's a power decision made by people who'll never see the shuttered storefronts or empty playgrounds left behind.
